Decision Delayed on Trauma Center
The Board of Supervisors has delayed until Feb. 12 its decision on whether to designate Santa Monica Hospital or Brotman Memorial Medical Center in Culver City as county trauma centers.
Officials of both hospitals have argued that they should be selected for the prestigious designation to fill a void in trauma services on the Westside. The existing trauma centers on the Westside are UCLA Medical Center in Westwood and Daniel Freeman Hospital Medical Center in Inglewood.
