| 12/29/1983 | "Volunteers Needed" | Los Angeles Sentinel | A request for part-time volunteers at the Kaiser Foundation Hospital (4867 Sunset). |
| 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.” |
| 3/19/1992 | "Transit Officials, Hospital Team Up On Rail Station" | Los Angeles Times | There are upcoming plans between Los Angeles County Transportation Commission and Children's Hospital Los Angeles (4650 Sunset) to link the medical complex with the Metro Red Line, redeveloping the entire block on Vermont Avenue as well. The station is set to open in 1998 and intended to carry many of the 10,000 pedestrians that pass through the intersection daily. |
| 11/23/1993 | "Legal Immigrants Find Refuge, Prosperity in L.A." | Los Angeles Times | Los Angeles is the "new Ellis Island," and "perhaps no street better captures the immigrant experience" in the area than Sunset Boulevard. While some, such as the Federation for American Immigration Reform, seek to end new immigration, others, such as the Kaiser Permanente hospital located at 4867 Sunset Boulevard, have actively recruited immigrant workers. At the time of reporting, about 60% of Kaiser’s registered nurses were Asian, with 90% of those being Filipino. In Little Armenia, there are immigrants who sought refuge from war or religious persecution. One such family was the Simitians, who owned the Diamond World Travel Agency located at 5171 Sunset Boulevard. Since Sunset passes near Chinatown, the boulevard also has many Chinese immigrants and a Chinatown Service Center located at 300 Sunset Boulevard. Other groups along the street include Soviet Jews, Mexicans and Central Americans, and Europeans, among others. As a result Sunset Boulevard is a “mosaic of cultures.” |
| 11/22/1996 | "Kaiser to Send Sickest Patients to St. Vincent" | Los Angeles Times | Kaiser Permanente announces that it will begin sending its most critical patients to St. Vincent’s, a private Catholic hospital, instead of its own center at 4867 Sunset. Both hospitals are severely underused and the Kaiser Center on Sunset will need to be remodeled to adhere to earthquake safety guidelines. |
