City News ServiceNovember 8, 2007

CNS – An Inland Empire-based company has purchased the struggling Centinela Hospital Medical Center in Inglewood, which has seen a sharp rise in emergency patients since Martin Luther King Jr.-Harbor hospital closed in August.

Debunking King Hospital’s Premature Post-Mortem

Larry Aubry (Columnist)September 20, 2007

Martin Luther King, Jr. Hospital is not dead. There’s plenty of life and resolve left in its supporters to resurrect the beleaguered institution. Local residents and the cadre of long-time loyalists were called together recently by Congresswoman Maxine Waters and newly-elected Congresswoman Laura Richardson. The gathering was called “A Day of Reconciliation and Renewal.” “Renewal” is clear, but it is not clear whether “reconciliation” referred to Blacks only or with county, state and federal officials who were primarily responsible for the ruination of the hospital. (Or, perhaps “reconciliation” referred to both.) The question is germane because unless Blacks unify and

Closing of Martin Luther King Hospital

Danny J. Bakewell Jr. (Contributing Editor)August 16, 2007

People often ask me why does the Sentinel cover so much political news? Well the closing of Martin Luther King Hospital is exactly why. Decisions like, ‘will we keep the hospital opened or closed’ requires strong leadership, and people who we know will ultimately have our community and our people at the forefront of their agenda. The closing of Martin Luther King/Harbor General Hospital is an absolute tragedy. To deprive the residents of Watts, Compton and South Los Angeles (some of the poorest communities in all of Los Angeles County) the basic service of health care is something that cannot

Jennifer Bihm (Contributing Writer)August 15, 2007

Medical workers and patients surrounding King Harbor Hospital Monday were closed mouthed about their feelings on the emergency room closure. The front entrance to the building that used to serve as a drop off point for emergency cases was mostly empty, save for a few people waiting for non-emergency care. Security guards inside said that urgent care would remain open and another worker said he and other employees really didn’t know the status of their jobs. However, county health director, Bruce Chernoff in a letter to the supervisors August 13 said clinical staff not required to maintain services will be

Alice Walton, CNSJuly 5, 2007

CNS — Finding high-quality doctors and nurses to work at Martin Luther King Jr.-Harbor Hospital continues to be a problem, especially as the hospital teeters on the brink of closing, Supervisor Yvonne B. Burke said in an recent interview. The long-time supervisor, whose district includes the hospital, talked about possible fixes in a June 27 interview with City News Service, just a day after she and her four colleagues contingency plan for closing the troubled county- run hospital, which was built in the wake of the 1965 Watts riot to serve the poor and uninsured in the southern part of

King Drew Medical Center

I have been a proponent and an advocate of Martin Luther King Hospital for years. I have been willing to stand tirelessly up for them in the wake of people calling it “Killer King” and making jokes about the quality of care and the quality of the people who work there. I have heard people swear that no matter how bad off they are or how sick they become they NEVER wanted to be sent to Martin Luther King Jr. Hospital. I have watched GREAT community leaders like Lillian Mobley dedicate their lives to ensuring that our community has its
