This month, the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services is collaborating with the United States Army Corps of Engineers to rapidly deploy a team of design and construction experts to the Los Angeles region to evaluate and, where necessary, upgrade oxygen delivery systems at six hospitals in Los Angeles County.

The deployment comes at a time when hospitals across the Los Angeles region are treating an unprecedented number of COVID-19 patients and the internal oxygen delivery systems built into many older hospitals are being overtaxed by the volume of oxygen flow required to treat patients with respiratory issues that arise from COVID-19.

One of the hospitals which will be evaluated for improvements is Adventist Health White Memorial Hospital, 1720 E. Cesar E Chavez Ave.
