New Wing Dedicated at Children's Hospital

It's called the Marion and John E. Anderson Pavilion, after the donors who provided a $50 million dollar gift.

About 200 people gathered Thursday for the ribbon cutting on a new building at 110-year-old Children's Hospital Los Angeles.

Located on Hollywood Boulevard in Los Feliz, Children's Hospital is internationally famous for the quality of its care.

The new building-- named after major donors Marion and John E. Anderson--cost $636 million dollars. It will have 317 beds, a third of them for intensive care.
