LOS ANGELES, Aug. 21, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- HealthCare
Partners, a division of DaVita Medical Group and a part of DaVita
Inc. (NYSE: DVA), today celebrated the opening of a new
state-of-the-art medical facility and urgent care clinic in
downtown Los Angeles at Washington
Boulevard and Hoover Street. The new facility replaces the roughly
40-year-old founding clinic of HealthCare Partners and establishes
a health care hub in the Pico-Union neighborhood on the west side
of downtown Los Angeles.
"This is a major milestone for our medical group and the
downtown Los Angeles community,"
said Jim Rechtin, California regional president for HealthCare
Partners. "In the 1970s, a medical group that would become known as
HealthCare Partners set out with a simple goal - to better serve
patients by making health care more team-based and collaborative.
That all started at 1025 W. Olympic Blvd. and ever since it has
helped multiple generations in this community live healthier
lives."
Less than one-and-a-half miles from its previous location on
Olympic Boulevard, the new downtown Los
Angeles facility relocated to a brand new, 60,000 square
foot, four-story facility at 1120 W. Washington Blvd. The clinic is
connected to a nine-story parking structure with no-cost parking
available to patients. The facility accommodates a variety of
patient care operations including:
• On-site radiology
and lab
services

• Pain
management
|
•
Dermatology

|
• Podiatry

"We are thrilled to have HealthCare Partners as the anchor
tenant of Downtown West Medical," said Robert Hanasab, principal of Robhana Group. "We
look forward to bringing additional healthcare providers to
complement HealthCare Partners in our forthcoming next phases of
the campus's development. We see this is as the beginning of a
healthcare hub of the downtown Los
Angeles area."
Drawing on years of experience as well as input from current
patients and HealthCare Partners' teammates (employees), the new
facility is enhanced with the patient experience in mind while
being reflective of the diverse local community it will serve.
Multi-lingual signage and information is placed throughout the
building and bi-lingual care teams are on site to assist Spanish
speaking patients.
"We're happy to welcome HealthCare Partners' new medical
facility and urgent care clinic to the First Council District,"
said Gil Cedillo, Los Angeles
Councilmember. "Not only will the new facility bring much needed
jobs and economic activity to the area, it will also bring valuable
medical services to the Pico Union/University Park
communities."
The new facility has been described as one of the largest health
care projects ever in the downtown Los
Angeles area.
"It's been an honor to turn Robhana Group's vision of a
next-generation healthcare campus in downtown Los Angeles into the landmark development that
Downtown West Medical has become," said Inception Property Group's
founding partner Peter Becronis.
"The lightning speed at which Downtown West went from initial
vision to rapid completion speaks to the incredible contributions
by everyone involved."
HealthCare Partners invites the community to attend an open
house event and tour the new downtown Los
Angeles facility Saturday, Aug. 25,
2018 from 10 a.m. to 2
