The South Los Angeles King/Drew Medical Center, once nicknamed “Killer King,” is being replaced by the Martin Luther King Jr. Community Hospital after a complete renovation, according to an article on the Los Angeles CBS website.
The new 131-bed is about one-third the size of the old medical center and will focus on preventative care.
The new facility is surrounded by an expanded outpatient clinic and a new urgent-care psychiatric center and public health clinic.
The construction cost totaled $250 million, with an additional $154 million in operating costs.
