I found this as well :) Mismanagement: Investigations, including a 2004 Los Angeles Times series, highlighted incompetent staff, lack of accountability, and poor oversight across departments. Between 2004 and 2007, 260 staff members, including 41 doctors, were fired or resigned due to disciplinary issues. Loss of Accreditation/Funding: The hospital failed CMS reviews, losing $200 million in federal funding (half its budget) after years of non-compliance with national standards. Cultural and Political Factors: Community pride and political reluctance to address issues, fearing accusations of racial bias, delayed reforms, as noted in reports.
