Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center’s opening put off--again

The long-delayed opening of Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center has been postponed again in the aftermath of a water leak. Flooding on several floors and the subsequent repairs and cleanup have forced the hospital to push back a required inspection by the California Department of Public Health. The new facility was originally set to open in late 2004 to replace the campus' half-century-old medical center. But cost overruns and construction delays has put off the opening for years.
