 In response to the state's decision, Los Angeles County Supervisors considered having the county close the hospital ahead of the state, hoping to thereby formulate and implement an orderly plan for diverting patients and, by suspending King–Harbor instead of allowing it to lose its state license, making an easier task reopening it.The County ultimately decided to not move for County closure.The hospital received a brief reprieve when a June 25, 2007 inspection showed critical problems with its emergency department identified earlier in the month had been corrected, preserving federal certification and funding for the hospital until August 2007, when it must pass a broader federal review.
