FEMA to Give $36.6 Million to Rebuild St. John’s Hospital
The Federal Emergency Management Agency announced Friday that it will provide $36.6 million to help rebuild the north wing of St. John’s Hospital and Medical Center in Santa Monica.
The hospital was heavily damaged in the 1994 Northridge earthquake, and the north wing had to be demolished.
The funds will cover 90% of the $40.7-million rebuilding cost.
“The replacement and repair of St. John’s Hospital facilities will restore this health center’s ability to provide the vital medical services needed by residents of the community,” said FEMA Director James Lee Witt.
