The Broad - Architectural design of the
new Eli Broad museum being built in
downtown Los Angeles
and 500,000 workers and a growing list of
top-notch restaurant and entertainment
venues, Downtown has become a
destination point for residents and tourists
alike," said Carol Schatz, CEO of the
Downtown Center Business Improvement
District and the Central City Association.
"We have Staples Center, L.A. Live, and
the Music Center, and the Broad Museum
and Wilshire Grand projects are coming."
"Now, with the construction of the Good
Samaritan Hospital Medical Pavilion, an
important missing piece will be put in
place: a sophisticated new medical facility
worthy of a vibrant urban center. This key
project will increase the availability of
specialized medical care in the downtown
area to meet the growing need. I am
pleased to see this project moving forward
and congratulate Good Samaritan
Hospital as they build this beautiful new
facility that reflects the spirit of downtown
revitalization."
At the groundbreaking ceremony, Andrew
B. Leeka, President and Chief Executive
Officer, said, "This is a joyous and exciting
occasion, especially for the many of us
here who have been personally involved in
conceptualizing and shaping this medical
facility. Today, as we commemorate
the groundbreaking for an inspiring
and critically needed new facility for
our community, we are celebrating
among friends: friends who share our
vision and aspiration for the future of
Good Samaritan Hospital; friends who
recognize the unique and important role
Ms. Carol Schatz, CEO of the Downtown
Center Business Improvement District
and the Central City Association
that Good Samaritan plays in healing,
research and education; friends who are
leaders of religion, education, government,
commerce and other professions, who will
inspire the next generation to make their
own notable contributions as servant
leaders and friends and donors who
have stepped up to expand their levels of
support to make this dream come true.
Like the leaders and builders before us,
the project that we are celebrating today
has required leadership, foresight, careful
planning, cooperation and philanthropy."
At the center of the Medical Pavilion
project is the Frank R. Seaver Ambulatory
Surgery Center with state-of-the-art
outpatient surgery facilities. Mr. Seaver's
$12.1 million gift through his trust is a
vital part toward the completion of the
$81 million project.
"Good Samaritan Hospital has been a
part of the Seaver family for generations,"
stated Ms. Victoria Seaver Dean, Frank R.
Seaver's grandniece and a Good Samaritan

2. Hospital Trustee. "It is our 'family'
hospital. Not only was it Frank's hospital,
but it was the go-to hospital for the
whole family I recently found a receipt
for a stay of my grandfather Byron from
90 years ago. My father Richard and
all of his siblings were born here, and
the hospital and its doctors have truly
provided a lifetime of care. Because of
this intertwined history, Frank left a
legacy gift to the hospital. Frank would
have been delighted to have his name
associated with this innovative facility
that allows Good Samaritan Hospital
to continue to provide superior care to
future generations of Seavers and the
entire Los Angeles community."
The Frank R. Seaver Ambulatory
Surgery Center will provide surgery,
pain management and diagnostic
services in an outpatient setting.
Outpatient treatrnents will include
those in cardiology, orthopedics, cancer.

comfort offered by private pre- and post-operative rooms,
and family members can accompany patients up to the last
minute preceding surgery and during the recovery period.
The Medical Pavilion will also have an outpatient imaging
center, while on the first floor there will be specialty
outpatient clinics, a pharmacy and cafe. Floors three to seven
of the Pavilion will contain new offices. Patients and guests
will have access to a medical library offering health-related
books and magazines, as well as Internet terminals to check
email, read news or research online medical information.
"Throughout our 126 year journey, starting in the 1880s
when the population of Los Angeles County was a mere
33,381 residents to over 9,862,049 residents today, Good
Samaritan Hospital's commftment to quality healthcare
that is accessible, affordable and delivered with incredible
compassion has never wavered," concluded Mr. Leeka. " I
look forward to standing here with you upon the successful
completion of this project in January 2014."
