Existing closed Olympia Medical Center |
Yours truly happened to spot an advertisement in the LA Business Journal (see below) dealing with bidding on the contract to construct the "UCLA Neuropsychiatric Replacement Hospital" to be located at 5900 W. Olympic Boulevard in LA.

The Regents approved the acquisition and conversion of the facility in September 2021.***
According to the Regents' document, the current psychiatric beds in Westwood would be moved to the new facility and additional beds would be added. The Westwood beds would then be repurposed for other medical use.
