County Supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky has challenged the UC Board of Regents to "get out of the ivory tower" and "engage in our communities" by agreeing to a partnership with Los Angeles County. He and his four colleagues will formally ask the Regents to help re-open Martin Luther King Hospital, so troubled for so long before it was closed two years ago that it was known as "Killer King."
King/Drew Hospital Resuscitated?
