Los Angeles city council approves $542m expansion of Tarzana hospital

The project to add a new patient wing that includes a pediatric intensive care unit, a parking structure and surgical facilities to the campus of Providence Tarzana Medical Center, at 18321 Clark St., was approved by the City Council’s Planning and Land Use Management Committee.
