Torrance Memorial Medical Center is launching a seven-year $40 million Emergency Department (ED) expansion project to increase capacity, efficiency and access to emergency care. The Melanie and Richard Lundquist Emergency Department will expand to a two-story facility to accommodate the increasing number of patient visits. Torrance Memorial Foundation’s campaign goal is to raise $25 million to support the expansion. To raise awareness in the community, guests gathered in local homes to hear from ED doctors and nurses about the critical need for this expansion. Laurie and Tom McCarthy hosted in their Manhattan Beach home with comments from Gretchen Lent, MD and Angela Shvartsman, RN. On April 18, Meg and Anthony Walker hosted in their Palos Verdes home where Dana Kennedy, MD and Cynthia Libertini, RN shared with guests.
