Olympia Medical Center cannot close.

Send the Letter

All across Los Angeles County, ICU bed capacity is currently at zero and Covid-19 runs rampant. That's why it's unconscionable that Alecto Healthcare Services — the organization that owns Olympia Medical Center, one of LA's largest hospitals — is planning to shut down operations in the middle of a global pandemic.

We need you to join your voices with Olympia Medical Center nurses to speak out against this irresponsible practice. Send an email to Alecto Healthcare CEO Matt Williams right now and tell him to stop the closure before it's too late.

Los Angeles County is in crisis. ICU beds are currently at zero capacity, and our county is currently facing some of the highest rates of coronavirus cases and deaths. That is why I am writing you today to urge you to delay the closure of Olympia Medical Center for a minimum of six months.

We are in a crisis. Right now, the voluntary closure of OMC will cause further hardship on our health care system. The closure would place even more pressure on surrounding facilities at a time when our peer facilities are overburdened, and it is an irresponsible thing to do.

Our community is suffering immensely from Covid-19. This is not the time to shutter a 200-bed hospital like OMC. This is exactly when we need our hospitals to commit to caring for patients and making sure everyone has a fair chance of making it out of this pandemic alive.

I urge you to delay the shutdown and work with leaders at UCLA Health to commit to maintaining OMC as a full-service acute care hospital with no suspension of services, at least for the duration of the Covid-19 pandemic. Thank you.
