North Hollywood Medical Center (Medical Center of North Hollywood) was a hospital, operating from 1952 to 1998, in the community of North Hollywood, a district in the San Fernando Valley region of the city of Los Angeles. The hospital is famed as the filming location, from 2001 to 2008, of the multiple award winning hospital comedy television show ''Scrubs''. Located at 12629 Riverside Drive, the building was demolished in mid-2011.〔King, Anna. ("Blaze at Old North Hollywood Medical Center" ) (video), ''North Hollywood-Tuluca Lake Patch''. July 19, 2011. Accessed July 25, 2011.〕 In February 2013, IMT Residential opened a new apartment complex on the site. ==Medical Hospital== North Hollywood Medical Center was opened in 1952 as "Valley Doctors Hospital", a small private hospital with 160 beds and an emergency room. The hospital was sold to Hyatt Medical and re-opened in 1973 as "Riverside Hospital", reflecting its location on Riverside Drive and beside the Los Angeles River. In 1976, foreshadowing its future use as a permanent film set, Riverside Hospital was used to film scenes of the original TV movie of the "Having Babies" movie and series franchise. The name was changed to "Medical Center of North Hollywood" following misplaced negative publicity caused in late 1981 when nurse Robert Diaz was charged with murdering 12 hospital patients in unrelated hospitals in Riverside County, California.〔"Nurse charged in hospital deaths", The Milwaukee Journal, ''November 24, 1981", p1〕〔("DIAZ, Robert Rubane", CrimeZZZ.net )〕 In 1997, North Hollywood Medical Center teamed with the USC University Hospital to operate a Family Practice Residency Program at North Hollywood.〔 The relationship was facilitated by the fact that both hospitals were then owned by Tenet Healthcare.〔 Citing reduced revenue streams, Tenet Healthcare closed North Hollywood Medical Center in August 1998. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「North Hollywood Medical Center」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
