BACKGROUND
During the City budget process, the issue of hospital services was discussed. At that time,
the Council received a presentation from Lisa Foust of Henry Mayo Newhall Memorial
Hospital. Originally, the Council was considering a financial contribution to the Henry
Mayo Newhall Memorial Hospital Trauma Center. Upon hearing the presentation, Council
had several questions, including the possible expansion of hospital services to the eastside
of the City. At that time, Council requested a joint meeting with the Hospital Foundation
to discuss these and other issues.
Recently, Mayor Darcy and staff met with hospital representatives regarding these issues.
It was decided to continue discussions to the study session with the entire Council.
On the agenda are the following items: the possibility of locating a site in the Canyon
Country area, the economies and needs of expansion of the emergency room at the hospital
campus, and a possible contribution from the City.
In addition, Darlene Isabelle, from the Emergency Medical Services Agency — Los Angeles
County Department of Health, will discuss how paramedic services operate and how it
relates to the hospital.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this item. If the Council chooses to contribute to
the Henry Mayo Newhall Memorial Hospital Trauma Center, an item would be presented
at a regular City Council meeting.
