Dignity Health-California Hospital Medical Center is located in the South Park district of downtown Los Angeles, California at 1401 S. Grand Avenue.

The hospital operates as a Level II Trauma Center,[1] and its emergency department treats over 70,000 patients each year.

The hospital's neighbors include Crypto.com Arena, "L.A. Live" and the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising.

California Hospital Medical Center (CHMC) was founded in 1887 by Dr. Walter Lindley and two other physicians.

By 1902, CHMC turned into the largest and best-equipped physician-owned hospital west of Chicago and less than 25 years later, CHMC's old frame buildings were replaced by a more modern nine-story brick building, resulting in another famous "first" – it was the first fireproof hospital in Los Angeles.
