Facility Overview
The parking facilities serving the Healthcare Consultation Center I, located at 1510 San Pablo St, are part of the larger Keck Medicine of USC medical campus in Los Angeles. Designed primarily for patients, visitors, and medical staff, the facility consists of integrated structured parking environments that offer covered protection from the elements. The layout is optimized for high-frequency short-term turnover and medical appointment access. While the garage is well-suited for standard sedans, crossovers, and SUVs, drivers of oversized high-roof vans or commercial trucks should exercise caution and verify vertical clearance signage at entry points, as is typical with hospital-grade multi-level parking structures.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
The facility is situated in the heart of the USC Health Sciences Campus in the Boyle Heights district. Its primary value is its immediate proximity to world-class medical institutions, including the Keck Hospital of USC and the USC Healthcare Center 2. Beyond medical facilities, the location offers convenient access to the vibrant culinary and cultural scenes of East Los Angeles. It serves as a strategic hub for those attending university-related functions, medical research conferences, or visiting the USC Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center, all of which are within a 5-to-10-minute walk.
Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
Access is primarily gained via San Pablo Street, with clear signage directing drivers to various patient parking zones. Traffic flow is generally orderly, though peak morning hours for medical appointments can increase congestion. The facility is highly accessible from major freeways, including the I-10 and I-5, making it a convenient arrival point for those traveling from across the Greater Los Angeles area. Public transit users are well-served, with several Metro bus lines operating along San Pablo St and Marengo St, connecting the campus to the wider LA Metro rail network via the nearby bus-to-rail interchanges.

Visitor & Driver Tips
For a stress-free experience, we recommend arriving at least 20 minutes before your scheduled medical appointment, as the campus can be busy during mid-morning peaks. If you are planning an extended visit, verify if your department provides parking validation, as this can significantly reduce daily costs. Always keep your parking ticket in a secure, accessible location, and note the level and row number of your vehicle to expedite your exit. During major medical events or campus conferences, consider utilizing ride-sharing services if you anticipate a difficult parking situation.
