| 4/20/1980 | "Hospital infantil cerraría Centro contra Envenenamiento [= Children's Hospital Will Close Its Poison Center]" | La Opinión | Children's Hospital of Los Angeles (4650 Sunset Boulevard) considers the possibility of laying off over 400 members of its Poison Control Center. |
| 8/15/1985 | "Bed Pan Alley: Health Care Facilities Changing Character of Hollywood's East Side" | Los Angeles Times | A growing number of healthcare facilities are in East Hollywood, including Children's Hospital of Los Angeles (4650 Sunset Boulevard) and Kaiser Permanente (4867 Sunset Boulevard). The changes in zoning allowing for more side street commercial development meant the construction of the facilities pushed into residential areas of mostly Armenian, Filipino, and Latino immigrants. Because, at the time, “90% of the units were occupied by renters” and the area had a low median income compared to the rest of Los Angeles County, there was no neighborhood association or formal protests against such encroachment. Hagop Ovayan, a leader in the Armenian community, said, “It is better having the hospitals on Sunset Boulevard than the prostitutes who were there before.” |

The station is set to open in 1998 and intended to carry many of the 10,000 pedestrians that pass through the intersection daily. |
