State Health Department officials visited Community Hospital of Long Beach last week in what had been characterized as a final inspection, but more issues have come up that likely will keep the hospital closed until after 2021 has arrived. The inspectors found a number of items that need to be addressed/fixed, said John Molina, principal of the operator, Molina, Wu, Network, (MWN) via email. Our current staff is knocking each item down. Itâs like a âpunch list that is done at the end of construction.
Pacific6 spokesman Brandon Dowling said Tuesday that an opening date has not been set, with the situation changing literally day by day. He said the hospital still has a chance to open before the end of the year.
