History
The hospital was founded as Hollywood Hospital in 1924. In 2004, it was sold to the CHA Medical Group of South Korea for US$69,000,000.
"Patient dumping"
In February 2007, an investigation was launched after a hospital official allegedly "dumped" 54-year-old Gabino Olvera, a paraplegic patient, on a Skid Row street. According to witnesses, Olvera was removed from a hospital van and was left writhing in a gutter, wearing nothing more than a soiled gown and a broken colostomy bag. The hospital agreed to pay US$1,000,000 and be monitored for up to 5 years as part of a settlement agreement reached in 2008.
Taken hostage by hackers
In 2016, the hospitals computer system was hijacked by hackers forcing the hospital to use paper. Patients were asked to pick up lab results in person. The hospital paid a US$17,000 ransom to the hackers to regain access to their system.
