Local News in Brief : Queen of Angels to Close Jan. 27
Financially troubled Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center in Los Angeles will complete its merger with nearby Queen of Angels Medical Center on Jan. 27, a spokeswoman for the medical centers said Wednesday.
On that day, Queen of Angels will close its aging 404-bed facility overlooking the Hollywood Freeway and move its doctors, patients and administrative personnel a few miles north to Hollywood Presbyterian’s more modern 395-bed facility on Vermont Avenue in Hollywood.
Queen of Angels will stop receiving new patients next Monday, the spokeswoman said, directing them to the Hollywood Presbyterian facility instead.
The merger, announced in early November, was made final earlier this month. The merged institutions will be known as Queen of Angels-Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center.
