Had MemorialCare wanted to preserve Community Medical’s full scope of emergency services or to keep the hospital open beyond early July, O’Donnell said they could have reassigned caregivers from other campuses to keep things running, but instead seem to be “hellbent on closing this facility.” MemorialCare manages several hospitals and clinics, including Long Beach Medical Center, Miller Children’s and Women’s Hospital Long Beach and Orange Coast Medical Center in Fountain Valley.Īlthough the organization asserted a wave of staff resignations for its decision to send city government its 120-day termination notice for the Community Medical site at 1720 Termino Ave., Assemblyman Patrick O’Donnell blamed MemorialCare leadership for decisions that will result in some patients being sent away from Community Medical’s East Long Beach emergency room. MemorialCare has said the hospital cannot remain open beyond mid-2019 due to the impracticability of bringing the campus in line with state government’s seismic safety mandates for hospitals. City government owns the hospital and its buildings. The news comes after Monday’s announcement that MemorialCare will terminate its lease for Community Medical within four months as a result of staff departures. “After discussions between EMS and Community Medical Center Emergency Department physicians and members of the care team, they agreed upon a diversion plan for ALS patients.”
“When we provided our 120-day notice, we immediately notified EMS,” hospital Chief Executive John Bishop said in a statement. MemorialCare said the decision followed consultations with the Los Angeles County Emergency Medical Services Agency, a government body charged with coordinating and evaluating EMS policy.
