Providence Holy Cross Medical Center Ignores Community, Environmental Concerns With Planned Expansion of Mission Hills Facility
Date:5/12/2008

Project proceeds despite non-compliance with California Environmental

Quality Act (CEQA).

LOS ANGELES, May 12 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Providence Holy Cross Medical Center (PHCMC) today went ahead with the planned expansion of its Holy Cross Medical Center even as Superior Court Judge Thomas I.

The litigation is likely to result in overturning the hospital's permission to go forward as well as the City's rules for handling environmental appeals.

Los Angeles City Councilman Richard Alarcon, whose district includes the Mission Hills area where the hospital is located, continues to lead efforts to ensure PHCMC respects the local community's concerns in regards to the hospital expansion. Said Councilman Alarcon, "I am disappointed that Holy Cross has decid
