Gatways Hospital and Mental Health Center

Got me sorted out and on my feet after traumatic arrival in L A in 1975. I will never forget them, the intensive inpatient therapy and transition to society through cottages they owned on their hilltop Echo Park campus. I became a successful publisher, retired early, and live a peaceful beach life. I am quite certain if it were not for this hospital I would be dead.

I was sent here when I was 14 twice. It was the best two hospital experiences. The activities are great, the staff is great, the food is decent, the hospital itself is clean and comfortable. Only one nurse was always rude but the other nurses helped a lot. The activity center has the best people, they helped me break out of my shell within one day of being in there. They reward you of good behavior. I got Chinese food once. It was overall really great.

I was a patient there in the Girls' Adolescent unit for eight days. The staff were nice and caring. The cleanliness was pretty good. The food could use some work, but at least they feed you. The activities are the best. A lot of games, rules, but they are just trying to help. Martha was mean, but warmed up to me. Jojie was the best, let me play kpop and my nickname was kpop, call him Jojie with the bow bow and tell him kpop said that. Gloria is cool too.Ice and fruit punch are the best. But, the meds are uggghhhh..... but they help. This was my experience. Admitted: 4/5/19 Discharged: 4/12/19

I honestly loved it here... i was admitted on Jan 30 and was discharged on Feb 11. Some of the staffs can be rude but I liked a lot of them.... obviously not Martha. Im really going to miss Matthew (called him a drug dealer), Jojie (he gave a set of cards before I left... he was fun to talk to... i always called him grandpa and made fun of his white hair... "Are your parents coming today because we need to talk" ), Brie (someone who I just really liked), Jamie (my mom... dont worry im not the only one... she said she had a lot of baby daddies), Joseline (she was just so nice and pure), Froylan (jokes a lot with a serious face), Lamar (sometimes he can be strict but he can be fun to talk to), Edwin (idk he always looks tired), Hannah (shes really nice and reminds me of my grandma), and other really nice staffs. They most likely won't remember me but I will always remember and thank them. - Su/Subin
