Long Beach VA hospital working to fix electrical problems that led to power outages

The Veterans Administration hospital in Long Beach is suffering from power interruptions after some of the equipment that distributes electricity to the facility failed.
The power outages, which began late Wednesday, Oct. 24, have mostly been patched up with the use of temporary equipment, but it is uncertain when the failed equipment will be repaired or replaced, Richard Beam, director of publicity and community affairs, said early Friday afternoon.
