Senate Bill 1953 is good news for Panorama City. As a result of the new guidelines requiring hospitals to meet stricter construction standards for earthquake safety, Mission Community Hospital will undergo a $30-million facelift that will enlarge and upgrade the facility in Panorama City. The project includes relocating Mission Community Hospital’s psychiatric services facility and acute care hospital, currently in the city of San Fernando, to the main hospital complex. Mission Community Hospital will build a two-story acute care facility and a single-story psychiatric unit, each with 60 beds. The project is expected to begin next August and be completed by July 2002. Last month the hospital began construction of a $4-million, four-level parking structure to serve the new facility. The 138,000-square-foot structure will accommodate 423 vehicles. Mission Community Hospital also plans to remodel and retrofit its ancillary service facilities, where radiology, emergency, clinical laboratories and the admitting office are located. Facilities for nine other departments including in-patient, intensive care, central sterilization, respiratory therapy and central supply will also be rebuilt to conform to the seismic safety standards.
