Arcadia Methodist Hospital is celebrating its 90th anniversary and preparing for the $34 million, 5-story, 128-bed "patient tower" that was approved in September.
Dance permits for parties at the Women's Club automatically are denied until the city's Business License Review Committee specifies conditions such as when the music will end, when people must leave, and maximum capacity. The new rules follow complaints against partygoers at a wedding reception in November.
For years, long-time Arcadia resident Kurt W. Rose designated $50 a year to the Methodist Hospital Foundation. Mr. Rose, who died last year at the age of 91, left $4.2 million to the Methodist Hospital Foundation, the largest individual contribution in the hospital's 95-year history.
