As a few hundred veterans and their families watched, officials at the Sepulveda VA Medical Center in North Hills unveiled the facility’s new ambulatory care facility and hailed the center as an example of the future of medical care.
The 242,000-square-foot center replaces the facility that was destroyed in the Northridge earthquake. It took nearly two years and $47 million to create the three-story building atop a hill off Plummer Avenue.
“It isn’t often in one’s life that one experiences something that may be deemed a disaster, [but] that becomes a fortuitous circumstance that propels a facility into a model of modern health care,” said Dollie G. Brown, associate director of the center.
