"Exterior view of Los Angeles County General Hospital located in Boyle Heights. L.A. County Hospital and USC Medical School were first affiliated in 1885, and so the hospital is also known as Los Angeles County-USC Medical Center, as well as County USC. It is one of the largest and busiest public hospitals and medical training centers in the western United States; offering 745 inpatient beds, treating over 28% of the region's trauma victims, recording nearly 39,000 inpatient discharges, 150,000 emergency department visits, and approximately 1 million ambulatory care visits per year. Little known fact: Marilyn Monroe was born in the charity ward of this hospital on June 1, 1926. Shown is the Acute Unit with numerous houses in the foreground."
