City reads riot act to College Hospitals over patient Skid Row dumping

By Richard Binder

ADVERTISEMENTS

City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo's office reported yesterday that a $1.6 million settlement has been reached with two Southern California hospitals accused of improperly discharging and dumping psychiatric patients on Skid Row in Los Angeles.

Officials allege that over two years, as many as 150 patients from College Hospitals in Costa Mesa and Cerritos were dumped on Skid Row, an area on the east side of downtown where thousands of homeless people live.

Under the settlement, the hospitals agreed to give $1.2 million to charities that care for the mentally ill and homeless and to pay $400,000 in civil penalties.
