On the Web: Tour Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center on Your Computer
 While many of us are already working at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center, and many of us have taken tours of the new hospital, a new feature of the UCLA Health System website will allow people all over the world to take a virtual 360-degree tour of the facility. The web tour showcases the building's distinctive exterior as well as private patient rooms, play spaces and state-of-the-art operating rooms. Just visit uclahealth.org and click on "Take a Virtual Tour." It's right on the homepage.
