This weekend's closing of the maternity ward at South Coast Medical Center after nearly 50 years has brought back fond memories for many mothers, who recall their hospital stay, staff and...killer ocean views. What do you expect from a Laguna Beach hospital perched on a small hill above Coast Highway? The vistas you would expect from a nearby mansion or luxury resort were mentioned several times by former maternity ward occupants:
"I had a baby at South Coast in January of 1960, and they treated us (new mothers and babies) like royalty," said Nancy Hunt. "The facility was beautiful –- and new -– and the ocean view spectacular."
