Year after year The UCLA Medical Center is ranked number one in the West by U.S. News
and World Report's annual survey of "America's Best Hospitals." The Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center stands as the dominant building on the south campus of UCLA.
Created by renowned architect I. M. Pei the building conveys the inspiration and promise of healing and scientific discovery. The 1,050,000-square-foot hospital houses 520 beds in private rooms and features a dedicated interventional floor with 23 operating rooms. The 10-story (eight stories above ground) structure will combine the operations of Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center, Stewart and Lynda Resnick Neuropsychiatric Hospital
at UCLA, and Mattel Children's Hospital at UCLA.
The Westwood replacement hospital was built to replace the Center for Health Sciences structure, which was built in 1951. The new structure, one of the first in the state to meet stringent new 2008 California seismic safety requirements, opened in June 2008.
The design of the new surgical suites will incorporate ergonomically positioned flat-screen monitors placed on articulating arms that can be brought into the surgical filed, and cameras built into the handles of the operating room lights will enable the images to be displayed on a wall mounted plasma screen. Two-way video-conferencing capabilities will make it possible for full-motion, high-quality images and audio to be transmitted within or outside the hospital for both teaching and consultation during surgeries.
The gynecologic oncology service includes four gynecologic oncologists (Drs. Farias-Eisner, Heaps, Memarzadeh and Dorigo) as well as a second-year resident along with a gynecologic oncology fellow. The fellow is responsible for the day-to-day activities of the service and actively participates in the gynecologic oncology OR cases as either primary surgeon or co-surgeon. The fellow is also in charge of the weekly multidisciplinary patient care
conference and the chemotherapy treatment planning of the service patients.
