We have resumed regular programming at our West Los Angeles facility. The power is back on in the building, and the roads near the facility have reopened. The safety of our patients and our staff is our top priority, and we will continue to monitor this fluid situation closely in case it changes.

With the wildfires still raging -- having forced the closure of major freeways surrounding our West Los Angeles facility and knocked out power to the building -- we made the decision to close for the day today, Wednesday, Dec. 6. Please be assured we are taking all steps necessary to protect the safety of our patients and our staff. We will continue to monitor the situation closely and will resume programming as soon as possible once the threat has abated.... Please stay tuned to this space or call a phone line we have set up at 310-307-7054 for further updates and the status of when we will reopen.
