USC Verdugo Hills Hospital was “founded by doctors from the community for the community,” and those words are affixed to the wall introducing its recently completed history exhibit. The wall, painted in the backdrop of a stunning mural of La Cañada Flintridge and the Angeles National Forest, chronicles the hospital’s beginnings from the land transfer from Behrens Memorial Hospital in Glendale and the opening of the 158-bed facility on Verdugo Boulevard in 1972.
