Background
The Clara Barton Hospital (CBH), founded in 1903, was one of the oldest in Los Angeles.
Located at the corner of Pico and Hope Streets, it began with a capacity of thirteen
beds. A training school for nurses was established at the same time. Between the years
1910 and 1975, after a series of additions, relocations, and mergings, the school existed
under the name of the Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center. The following chronology
details the history of the nursing school and its relationships with various other
institutions.
