LOS ANGELES – Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors Chair Hilda L. Solis, Supervisor to the First District, will be hosting a ceremony to break ground on a first-in-the-nation mental health and well-being campus dedicated to meeting the needs of our most vulnerable residents at the LAC+USC Medical Center in Boyle Heights.
The LAC+USC Restorative Care Village will provide access to a full continuum of clinical care and supportive services on one campus—including recuperative and respite housing, mental health care, substance use disorder treatment, and other transitional and support services to enable patients to heal and safely reintegrate into the community. Central to this work has been the community’s contribution to the design and development of community benefits such as exceeding the required 30% local and target hire goal for the project made possible in collaboration with the Health Innovation Community Partnership.
This event is closed to the public.
Everyone is required to wear a mask and practice physical distancing.
