Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, UCLA Health System and long-term care
provider Select Medical announced today a partnership to open a 138-bed
acute-care rehabilitation hospital in Century City in 2015. The aim "is to
develop a world-class regional rehabilitation center providing highly
specialized care, advanced treatment and leading-edge technologies to treat
individuals with spinal cord injuries, brain injuries, strokes, amputations,
neurological disorders, and musculoskeletal and orthopedic conditions," a
statement said...
The
new facility will be operated by Select Medical, a provider of long- term acute care services with hospital and
outpatient locations in 44 states, including at the Kessler Institute for
Rehabilitation in New Jersey...
Earlier this year, a feasibility study
found that seismic retrofitting would enable the former Century City Hospital
to meet seismic safety standards and licensure requirements to be operated as a
rehabilitation hospital, the statement said. The building's current owner has
begun infrastructure and modernization work to bring the building up to
standards. The preparation work will be completed in 2015 and allow occupancy
until 2030, according to the statement.

Not to be negative or anything but we’ve
heard that there are some dangers in unlimited growth (if you don’t chicken out
before it gets out of hand):
