LAC+USC Medical Center is now Los Angeles General Medical Center, still offering the same world-class care to our communities.

The origin of LA General Medical Center dates to 1878, when the County of Los Angeles opened a 100-bed hospital on Mission Road to care for Los Angeles indigent population. The County affiliated with the University of Southern California (USC) Medical School in 1885 for the provision of care.

On December 7, 1930, Hollywood actress Mary Pickford dedicated the 8-ton cornerstone for a modern Los Angeles County General Hospital on State Street. The 1 million-square-foot concrete building opened in 1933 and remained a beacon for high quality health care for 75 years. In 1968, the Board of Supervisors voted to rename the hospital LA General Medical Center to reflect its academic partnership.

As of 2023, this hub for healthcare services has been renamed to reflect the broad range of services we offer to our diverse communities.  Today LA General is a world-class teaching hospital, Level-One trauma center serving 10 million residents. The hospital is a training site for the U.S. Navy and more than 900 physicians completing their Graduate Medical Education in nearly every medical specialty and subspecialty.

Following damage to the historic hospital building from a 1994 earthquake, a 600-bed replacement hospital opened in 2008. The general hospital building is a registered historic landmark and now houses a Wellness Center offering a variety of health resources to community residents.
