Kimbrough gives in my opinion a great opportunity for many health care professionals. The staff they need to have to perform all of these services could be tremendous. You would need to have physicians both primary and specialty along with nurses or trained technicians. IT is as important as health care professionals as the facility runs through its own insurance and keeps records through their system that are up to date and make it efficient for patients being seen in this facility. As hospitals run I would assume you could have the same type of governance with a facility such as this with a CEO, Board of Trustees, and medical directors. A chief of service would be needed to make sure the facility stays within regulation sanitary, safe, and following codes. Now being a military facility I am unsure of how they hire. A question I have about the facility is; does it have to be staffed by military, volunteer, or is it associated with an educational facility to teach.

Well, the sitting on 4 acres the hospital encompasses Ronald Regan UCLA Medical center, Stewart and Lynda Resnick Neuropsychiatric Hospital at UCLA and Mattel Children’s Hospital UCLA. Some key features I found extremely helpful is their organization. Every floor of Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center is devoted to a specific specialty and equipped with all of the essential support equipment and supplies. Every floor has its own satellite pharmacy, dialysis storage, respiratory therapy workrooms, and resident doctor sleep rooms. Additionally; each patient room has the ability to convert into an intensive care unit (ICU) to allow for the continuous care of a critically ill patient in one room. This makes caring for patients extremely easy as everything they need is made available to them at the exact moment of a potential emergency. (Ronald Regan UCLA Medical Center, 2013)
