History
The Los Angeles County Hospital and the University of Southern California Medical School were first affiliated in 1885, five years after USC was founded. The present-day LAC+USC complex is adjacent to the University of Southern California Health Sciences Campus, which includes the USC Keck School of Medicine, USC School of Pharmacy, USC University Hospital and the USC Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center and Hospital. In 2004, Cynthia Stotts, DO, became the first female and the first osteopathic physician in the 158 year history of the hospital to be elected Chief of Medical Staff; two years later, she became the first physician to ever be elected to a second term as the chief of staff.
