Cedars-Sinai’s emergency medicine co-chair Sam Torbati said: “The Morgan family’s vision and responsiveness to the needs of our Los Angeles communities is unwavering.

“They have an acute awareness of the provisions required for those depending on our ED for timely, compassionate and lifesaving care.”

Set for completion by late 2026, the expansion will add approximately 16,550ft² to the ED and include the establishment of 40 more care rooms.

The new facilities will feature a critical care suite with six rooms for critically ill patients, a dedicated room for critically ill children, and a behavioural care unit to address mental health needs.

Cedars-Sinai chief advancement officer Arthur Ochoa said: “When people walk through the emergency department doors, The Todd M Morgan Family Lobby is their first stop before seeing a physician for critical care.

“The Morgan family’s incredible gift helps ensure that patients will be as comfortable as possible as they await much-needed care. They will certainly feel the impact and influence of the Morgans’ selfless contribution.”
