Located in Los Angeles, the Cedars-Sinai hospital was founded in 1902 under the name "Kaspare Cohn Hospital".
In 1930 the location and the name changed to it's current one.
Cedars-Sinai is named after after the religiously significant Lebanon Cedar, used to build King Solomon's Temple in Jerusalem in the Bible.
The hospital if known for treating many celebrities, probably because of its Hollywood location.
who2.com says in 2007: "Nicole Kidman was taken there last January after a minor car accident on the set of Invasion. Robert Goulet died there in November, awaiting a lung transplant. Merv Griffin had cancer treatment in August. Zsa Zsa Gabor had a leg operation in September. (Her sister Eva died there in 1995.) Owen Wilson was shipped there after his reported suicide attempt. David Hasselhoff showed up for detox after his notorious I-can-has-cheeseburger video. Tori Spelling had a baby. Dennis Quaid's twins had a medical emergency.
Going back in time, a combined search for "taken to cedars-sinai" and "star of" turns up names large and small: Brad Pitt (meningitis scare), Dick Van Patten (diabetic stroke), Martin Lawrence (running through traffic), Paul Stanley of KISS (heart palpitations), Liz Taylor (heart problems), Charlie Sheen (drug problems), and Charles Bronson (died of pneumonia).
Bronson wasn't the only one: Johnny Carson, River Phoenix, Henry Fonda, Lucille Ball, Andy Kaufman and the Notorious B.I.G. all were declared dead at Cedars-Sinai."
Britney Spears was escorted by the police on the way to the hospital, apparently against her will.
Is the Cedars-Sinai hospital involved in mind control projects?
