Former North Hollywood Medical Center Site to Become Giant Apartment Complex

The old North Hollywood Medical Center — or more commonly known as "Sacred Heart Hospital" to television viewers — was torn down this summer, and all that remains at the moment is the foundation. The famed building was the location of the hit NBC sitcom Scrubs, which used the hospital as its main set from 2001 to 2008. Many other TV shows and films also used the hospital as a location.

According to the website of IMT Residential, which is a major apartment operator with dozens of complexes in California, Arizona, Texas, and Florida, the site at 12629 Riverside Drive in Sherman Village will become a 264-unit apartment building. Pricing and floor plans are not posted yet, but illustrations and a list of amenities are, and the complex is scheduled to be opened in summer 2012.

Before it was closed, the North Hollywood Medical Center employed 250 people and ran a full-time emergency room that handled around 450 ambulance patients per month, according to the L.A. Times.
