. Can you talk about the strategy behind the expansion and how it s going?
Loh: The pandemic did cause some delays in the construction schedule, which we kind of expected, but we are still on target for completion around third quarter or so of 2021. So, it slid a little bit, but we re happy with where we are given the circumstances.
When this tower is completed, it ll be one of the most modern hospitals in Los Angeles, and that in itself, is exciting. We re looking at how does this support the growth of our programs that we re looking for. Women s programs are an important part of what we want to do, as [well as] expanding our bed capacity so that we have more private rooms for our patients in our community.
