Small quake rattles nerves, causes no damage in Los Angeles Associated Press
Los Angeles was jolted by a small earthquake last night that rattled nerves and got people talking on social media, but didn’t cause any major damage. The magnitude 3.6 quake hit around 11:20 p.m. Monday and was felt by thousands of residents in west Los Angeles, Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, across the San Fernando Valley and as far north as the Antelope Valley. The U.S. Geological Survey said the epicenter was about 3.6 miles (6 kilometers) northwest of the Westwood neighborhood, home to
the University of California, Los Angeles. Residents near UCLA reported feeling a sharp jolt followed by a short rumble. Some said they were shaken awake in bed. Former Los Angeles Laker Rick Fox, whose Westwood home was rattled, tweeted that the quake “wasn’t funny.” Authorities said there were no reports of damage or injuries. “We get these size earthquakes fairly frequently,” said USGS seismologist Zachary Reeves to the Los Angeles Times. “Any severe damage would be pretty unlikely.” SEE QUAKE PAGE 7

Providence St. John’s hosting community meeting MATTHEW HALL Daily Press Editor
If you have questions, concerns or just basic curiosity about Providence St. John’s Health Center, your opportunity for some answers will be tonight from 6 – 7 p.m. The meeting is a requirement of the Center’s existing agreements with the city and is expected to cover perennial topics of interest on the site plus provide additional information on new programs and services developed in the past year.
“Will provide an update on some of the new programs implemented over the past year at the hospital like the new partnership with some of the faith communities and some of our enhanced outreach working with our homeless patients to better place them in services,” said Ron Sorensen, Director Of Community Partnership. “It’s an opportunity to also update our local residents with the hospital over the past year.” The hospital has partnered with other local agencies to help home-
less patients find services. Providence St. John’s formed the Westside Respite Center in partnership with the Venice Family Clinic (VFC) and Ocean Park Community Center (OPCC). The three groups have been working together for several years and expanded their cooperation to include a full-time Community Care Coordinator. The position meets with homeless patients who are using the Emergency SEE MEETING PAGE 7
