Kaiser Permanente has partnered with CommonSpirit Health (formerly Dignity Health), the State of California and the County of Los Angeles to open the Los Angeles Surge Hospital. The facility is located on the campus of the former St. Vincent Medical Center in central Los Angeles. Kaiser Permanente provided marketing and operational expertise which enabled this facility to be repurposed in a remarkable two weeks time. While Kaiser Permanente Southern California will not provide physicians, staff, or equipment to the new facility, the Los Angeles Surge Hospital will expand access to additional beds and ICU capacity for patients who contract COVID-19.
