Thanks for going this history lesson on this area of Los Angeles. My dad was a doctor whose office was located at 92nd and Broadway and was on staff at this hospital and Morningside Hospital as well as St. Francis Hospital in Lynwood, CA. Also on staff at King Drew. 🙏🏾
Many of my friends that I went to school with in the 60's and beyond were born there. One of the articles used in your video mentioned Bon Air Hospital not getting it's emergency contract renewed 3:44 . It was on the southeast corner of 120th and Broadway. I was born there waaaay back. Townhouses are there now. Gone without a trace. Great video.
Thanks so much for sharing this! I need to do some research on Bon Air hospital. Crazy how these places just disappeared. It really puts the region into perspective…
@@SouthLARecap It really does. We used to live 2 blocks north on 118th Pl and Broadway. At one point it's name changed to Athens Park Hospital and looked shabby. We moved from there a couple of miles away on 122nd between Normandie and Western near the golf course. I was in the 6th grade. When I was small child we lived in public housing called Palm Lane. Martin Luther King Hospital sits smack dab on top of it.
Thanks for tuning in @californiography! This has to be one of the biggest mysteries I’ve uncovered so far. Maybe I’ll muster up the strength to add some of these sources the content to its Wikipedia Page lol
Man you can't leave me hanging like this, you gotta talk about morning side hospital too. Which was located directly behind the grocery store at Western in Manchester.. Great job man I love it
I grew up not to far from this place. I still remember the building being all gutted out. I never imagine it was a fully functional hospital back then. thank you for telling the story of this forgotten hospital.
You’re right. It’s just so crazy how a high-performing hospital suddenly fails when the demographics changed. I guess excellence apparently has bounds. Street boundaries.
I think my brother was born there in 1976. It was functional for a while. If not as a hospital, definitely a medical building. I believe it's lofts now.
I had my tonsils out at a hospital called Rose Hospital. I was on Manchester just east of the Harbor Freeway. I wonder if I am confusing it with this hospital. The tonsils came out in 1945 or so.

That’s so cool! Do you remember any stories from your dad about his time working at any of those local hospitals?

Thanks for telling the history of this hospital, I never knew it existed!

@@SouthLARecap that Wikipedia page needs them! 😂
I was born here in 1971! I remember some bad stories about this place.
Thank you for making these. This history needs to be told!
Thank you, Moses! I’m glad to do it
Love your channel. You've done a lot of research and make excellent presentations.
Yes I went there in 1979.

I pass that lot on the 45 bus everyday, always wondered what was there. Thank you
Anytime! Glad I could share this with you
You never fail to impress. I know someone who lives right in front of that lot and i always wondered why the lot sat empty for so long
Thanks for tuning in Jaziel! And yes, it’s crazy how a lot can sit vacant for so long.
If the hospital was still there this area would be a whole lot different such a shame hope they can build something good to better the community

Another Hospital is West Adams Community Hospital on Western by the 10 freeway

My mother was the head of Labor and Delivery from 1975-1977. Lofts now, when I come to L.A. I am going to ride down Western@@j2skillful
I always wonderer what this lot was. My church used to be on 98th and Broadway so I passed itnoften
I had my tonsils out at a hospital called Rose Hospital. I was on Manchester just east of the Harbor Freeway. I wonder if I am confusing it with this hospital. The tonsils came out in 1945 or so.

I lived not far from there on Colden & Main
Do you have any stories you can share about what you remember about the hospital?
