and 500,000 workers and a growing list of top-notch restaurant and entertainment venues, Downtown has become a destination point for residents and tourists alike," said Carol Schatz, CEO of the Downtown Center Business Improvement District and the Central City Association. "We have Staples Center, L.A. Live, and the Music Center, and the Broad Museum and Wilshire Grand projects are coming." "Now, with the construction of the Good Samaritan Hospital Medical Pavilion, an important missing piece will be put in place: a sophisticated new medical facility worthy of a vibrant urban center. This key project will increase the availability of specialized medical care in the downtown area to meet the growing need. I am pleased to see this project moving forward and congratulate Good Samaritan Hospital as they build this beautiful new facility that reflects the spirit of downtown revitalization." At the groundbreaking ceremony, Andrew B. Leeka, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "This is a joyous and exciting occasion, especially for the many of us here who have been personally involved in conceptualizing and shaping this medical facility. Today, as we commemorate the groundbreaking for an inspiring and critically needed new facility for our community, we are celebrating among friends: friends who share our vision and aspiration for the future of Good Samaritan Hospital; friends who recognize the unique and important role

Ms. Carol Schatz, CEO of the Downtown Center Business Improvement District and the Central City Association

that Good Samaritan plays in healing, research and education; friends who are leaders of religion, education, government, commerce and other professions, who will inspire the next generation to make their own notable contributions as servant leaders and friends and donors who have stepped up to expand their levels of support to make this dream come true. Like the leaders and builders before us, the project that we are celebrating today has required leadership, foresight, careful planning, cooperation and philanthropy." At the center of the Medical Pavilion project is the Frank R. Seaver Ambulatory Surgery Center with state-of-the-art outpatient surgery facilities. Mr. Seaver's $12.1 million gift through his trust is a vital part toward the completion of the $81 million project. "Good Samaritan Hospital has been a part of the Seaver family for generations," stated Ms. Victoria Seaver Dean, Frank R. Seaver's grandniece and a Good Samaritan

Hospital Trustee. "It is our 'family' hospital. Not only was it Frank's hospital, but it was the go-to hospital for the whole family I recently found a receipt for a stay of my grandfather Byron from 90 years ago. My father Richard and all of his siblings were born here, and the hospital and its doctors have truly provided a lifetime of care. Because of this intertwined history, Frank left a legacy gift to the hospital. Frank would have been delighted to have his name associated with this innovative facility that allows Good Samaritan Hospital to continue to provide superior care to future generations of Seavers and the entire Los Angeles community." The Frank R. Seaver Ambulatory Surgery Center will provide surgery, pain management and diagnostic services in an outpatient setting. Outpatient treatrnents will include those in cardiology, orthopedics, cancer.

women's care, ophthalmology and other medical specialties. Six state-of-the-art 600-square-foot operating suites will be available. Patients and visitors will enjoy privacy and comfort offered by private pre- and post-operative rooms, and family members can accompany patients up to the last minute preceding surgery and during the recovery period. The Medical Pavilion will also have an outpatient imaging center, while on the first floor there will be specialty outpatient clinics, a pharmacy and cafe. Floors three to seven of the Pavilion will contain new offices. Patients and guests will have access to a medical library offering health-related books and magazines, as well as Internet terminals to check email, read news or research online medical information. "Throughout our 126 year journey, starting in the 1880s when the population of Los Angeles County was a mere 33,381 residents to over 9,862,049 residents today, Good Samaritan Hospital's commftment to quality healthcare that is accessible, affordable and delivered with incredible compassion has never wavered," concluded Mr. Leeka. " I look forward to standing here with you upon the successful completion of this project in January 2014."
