We're
proud of our ECC Disaster Committee, who received an excellent compliance
rating by the DHS/EMS agency during National Bioterrorism Hospital Preparedness
survey conducted on July 21, 2005.


Approved by the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services (DHS) to
received pediatric patients from the 9-1-1
System,
our ECC utilizes the Triage System where patients are seen according to
the severity of their injury or illness.
The
ECC Team is supported by the collaborative efforts of board-certified physicians,
nurses and other medical personnel trained in emergency care. In addition,
an on-call panel of specialty physicians is available. The ECC is designed
and equipped to provide emergent care to all age groups.
