The generosity of the Trust and the continued support of the Seaver family allows us to continue to be innovative, cost-efficient and state-of-the-art; the dividends of which are more personalized care, enhanced teaching capabilities and unsurpassed outpatient experiences for our staff, doctors and, most of all, our patients.”

“Good Samaritan Hospital has been and continues to be a vital institution for Los Angeles and for generations of the Seaver family,” said Victoria Seaver Dean, president of the Seaver Institute and Trustee of the Frank R. Seaver Trust. “It is an exciting time to be investing in the hospital and in Los Angeles. The new Ambulatory Surgery Center will provide important additional services to the downtown and surrounding communities. It is an honor to have the name of Frank R. Seaver, who was generous to many Southern California institutions, affiliated with Good Sam’s tradition of superior and innovative care.”

The Good Samaritan Medical Plaza and Outpatient Pavilion that will include the Frank R. Seaver Ambulatory Surgery Center will serve an increasing population of younger, educated and affluent residents.
