Where are the Emergency Rooms in California - How Many hospitals have closed in the last 10 Years

The Los Angeles Times has put together a site whereby you can look up and see what services are available and where. Use the link below to go to the site for complete listings and see what is available and where.

California's dwindling emergency rooms

This is what the format looks like with links to the full data bases and easy enough to search or view the entire data base.

Also on the same page, see the number of pediatric beds available.

On another page, the Times listed all the hospitals closed in the last 10 years in California, quite a few and we still have doctors and hospitals with some of the lowest compensation packages in the country to boot. The most recent on the list being Century City, take a look and see why this hospital had to close, no money and on the outskirts of Beverly Hills. We also certainly don’t have a shortage of healthcare lawsuits either disputing contracts and payments, even some hospitals suing others. BD

Emergency room physicians say the closures have led to long waits, diverted ambulances and, in the most extreme cases, patient deaths. The closures also mean that patients in need of emergency care may need to travel farther, delaying access to treatment.
