Summer 2022 Update

The Tarzana Reimagined campaign realizes our goal of bringing state-of-the-art health care to your own backyard. We have made significant progress toward the single largest health care construction project in the history of the San Fernando Valley.

Thanks to the immense generosity of our community and neighbors, the Tarzana Reimagined campaign exceeded our fundraising goal, and we are thrilled to share we have raised $75.1M to date.

The new, five-story patient tower will be named the Friese Family Tower to honor Donald and Andrea Friese, along with their family, following their transformational $50M gift in 2021. Our community has added significant impact with generous support from The Ahmanson Foundation and Sandy Sigal. The momentum continues thanks to Susan Hirsch Wohl, Milt and Debbie Valera, Howard and Jodi Tenenbaum and many other philanthropic partners.

The Friese Family Tower will be the focal point of our new medical campus as both an advanced care hospital and a beautiful landmark. Directly next to the 101 Freeway and with a dedicated emergency department entrance, accessibility will be of ease. The tower will house a 32-bed emergency department on the first floor, more than double the capacity of our current department. Every tower room will be private to maximize both patient and visitor comfort. Additional advancements include a new beautifully-designed lobby and waiting area, advanced admitting and recovery areas and diagnostic labs. The newly designed chapel will be a multifaith space for patients and visitors.

Construction continues to make steady progress and plans to complete the new main lobby this summer. We anticipate finalizing construction on the Friese Family Tower in early 2023 with a grand opening planned in the first quarter. We look forward to updating our community on this monumental opening.
