Capacity of The New Hospital
Initial plans for the new Laguna Honda envisioned a capacity of 1,200 residents, but steeply rising construction costs required that the project be scaled back. The site of a planned fourth building, with a capacity of 420, will add parking capacity to the campus. In addition, plans to construct 250 units of assisted living were also put on hold. To move into the scaled-down facility, the hospital suspended most admissions during part of 2008 and 2009, accepting new residents only in the Rehabilitation Center, the Positive Care program and the hospice.

It should be sweet news to every woman in the world, for, if the capacity of men to love whom they have been taught to treat as competitors and enemies can transcend their education, the world can begin to heal.”

“What, then, is the basic difference between today’s computer and an intelligent being? It is that the computer can be made to see but not to perceive. What matters here is not that the computer is without consciousness but that thus far it is incapable of the spontaneous grasp of pattern—a capacity essential to perception and intelligence.”
—Rudolf Arnheim (b. 1904)
“The church is a sort of hospital for men’s souls, and as full of quackery as the hospital for their bodies. Those who are taken into it live like pensioners in their Retreat or Sailor’s Snug Harbor, where you may see a row of religious cripples sitting outside in sunny weather.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
