Location

The station was named LAC+USC Medical Center until December 10, 2023, when it was changed to reflect the hospital's new name.

Metro has additional plans to add the station as infill to the Metrolink San Bernardino Line. This would involve building a second track and center platform. The cost of this project is estimated between $51 million and $110 million. Currently, westbound Metrolink passengers must exit at the Cal State LA station and take any of the westbound buses one stop to the Medical Center.
