St. Vincent Medical Center (Los Angeles)

St. Vincent Medical Center (SVMC) is a hospital in the Westlake neighborhood of Los Angeles, California, United States.

Started by the Daughters of Charity in 1856, the hospital closed on January 24, 2020, due to the bankruptcy of Verity Health System.

[6] KPC Group agreed to purchase SVMC for $120 million; however, the sale was not completed by the court-mandated deadline of December 5.

[11] The agreement was approved the same day by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court to allow the State to temporarily lease the hospital as a treatment center for COVID-19.

It is a transfer-only facility, accepting patients who test positive for the virus from other regional public and private hospitals.

The foundation, run by Patrick Soon-Shiong, MD, and his wife, Michele B. Chan, said it would take over the state's lease obligations at the hospital if the deal is approved by the bankruptcy court.
