On the eve of an expected vote by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors to close the trauma center at Martin Luther King Jr./Drew Medical Center, opponents of the closure plan were writing last-minute compromise proposals Monday.
Supervisor Yvonne Brathwaite Burke said she had been meeting with U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Los Angeles) and union officials to write a motion that would examine the future of trauma services at the hospital and suggest an alternative that would maintain services. Burke said Monday evening that the language had not yet been worked out.
