The Harbor–UCLA Medical Center Replacement Program is making progress! As the only Level 1 Trauma Center serving the South Bay and South Central LA communities, Harbor-UCLA treats 4,500+ trauma patients each year. The new, state-of-the-art hospital—set to open by 2028—will transform the 72-acre campus to meet growing healthcare needs in West Carson and beyond.
Last year, I joined LA County Public Works, the Department of Health Services, hospital leadership, and the construction team to celebrate the steel topping out. With a workforce made up of 50% women and local hires, this project is powering ahead.
