Throughout the years, the campus has grown and now serves thousands of residents across the county.
It was a momentous celebration at the renaming ceremony of the Los Angeles County hospital in Boyle Heights once known as LAC+USC Medical Center. Now, it'll be called the Los Angeles General Medical Center, a hospital that has been a part of the community for 145 years.
According to Orozco, another reason for the new name was because patients would sometimes end up at the hospital next door - Keck Hospital of USC - which also has USC in the name. It's made cameos in various movies and shows and plus, at one point in her life, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass was a physician assistant at the hospital.
The medical center is a level one-trauma center and runs the busiest emergency department and trauma center in the largest county in the nation.
