Brig. Gen. Paul Owen, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers South Pacific Division commander, visited two Los Angeles-area hospitals March 19 to view the progress on construction the Corps and its contractors are doing in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
While in Southern California, the general visited the Corps’ project sites at Adventist Health White Memorial Medical Center in Boyle Heights and Beverly Community Hospital in Montebello.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers deployed to the Los Angeles area Jan. 1 as part of FEMA’s support to the State of California under the COVID-19 major disaster declaration. Several LA-area hospitals were having oxygen system issues and overcapacity due to the surge in COVID-19 patients at that time.
In addition to White Memorial and Beverly hospitals, the Corps and its contractors also are constructing two alternate care facilities adjacent to Mission Community Hospital in Panorama City, California. One is a 24-bed facility for COVID-acute patients, and the other is a 10-bed facility for Non-COVID, non-acute patients. Final inspection at Mission Community Hospital is scheduled for mid-April
