A TOUR: ''God's Hotel'' - The FORMER HOSPITAL BEFORE OUR REBUILD IN 2010.
---Here is a video that I found recently. I thought that some may like to see it. ''God's Hotel'' was the term Dr. Victoria Sweet used for her book chronicling her twenty year experience of working at the old Laguna Honda Hospital. The video lasts less than 8 mins. This is a quick tour of the inside of the old LHH.
I made it a TOUR of the old Laguna Honda Hospital because I knew that NOT everyone got a chance to see it. I call it a TOUR of ''God's Hotel'' after her book of the same name. ''God's Hotel,'' was written by Dr. Victoria Sweet...a former doctor at LHH. The book was well received by the public having spent time on the NY Times bestseller list and won a Guggenheim in the process. She made a TEDtalk about LHH at the time.
She was, also, my own doctor for awhile.

We, as I'm sure many are aware, Laguna Honda Hospital is slated to be shutdown and emptied by the feds in September, 2022. This news blindsided most of us because we have to move elsewhere for this to happen. A small amount of residents have been moved causing 9 deaths already, in the first three weeks They have put a pause on the transfer
movement. Many lawsuits have sprung up. Let's put a sticker to ''MAKE THE PAUSE...PERMANENT. KINDNESS IS THE WAY!''
MAKE THE PAUSE...PERMANENT!
We have now as of 10/12 been given an extension to our closure. A lawsuit was settled and Laguna Honda Hospital will remain open until November 13, 2023. The pause is slated to be lifted in February, 2023. We have not been recertified, but we are making progress to that which, of course, would be our goal.
