Performance Electric at Good Samaritan Hospital

Performance Electric is currently providing Good Samaritan Hospital with electrical and communication upgrades to various locations at the Hospital.

Good Samaritan was founded by Sister Mary Wood in 1885 with a nine-bed facility in Los Angeles California. With help from St. Paul's Episcopal Church and generous donation from a good samaritan "Mrs Mark Severance" in 1886 the hospital begins to grow along with the Los Angeles area. In 1911 the hospital moved to it's current location and in 1927 construction began to the wing shown in the photograph. Good Samaritan has the distinction of being the first hospital in history with the worlds first live birth from a frozen embryo. There as also some darker history involving the hospital: Shortly before midnight on June 4th 1972, Robert Kennedy was shot at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles. Senator Kennedy was rushed by ambulance first to the Central Receiving Hospital and then to the good Samaritan Hospital, where six neuro-surgeons labored more than three hours to remove a bullet from Robert Kennedy. For the next 24 hours, doctors fought to save Mr Kennedy but died in the early hours of June 6th.
