Set in the fictional city of Port Charles, New York, General Hospital debuted on April 1, 1963, the same day that rival network NBC launched its own medical daytime drama, The Doctors. The show originally aired for a half-hour until the network expanded it to the unusual length of 45 minutes in 1976, and then to a full hour in 1978. The serial was created by soap writers Frank and Doris Hursley, a husband-and-wife team.

To replace D.C. General Hospital, the PBC2 will build a modem medical center on the existing campus, ideally located at the intersection of 19th Street and Independence Avenue, S.E., immediately adjacent to the existing Metro subway station. The hospital will be built in 1 '/2-to-2 years at a cost of $100 million to $130 million, to facilitate creation of a cost-efficient healthcare delivery center. Transition costs over the two years will be $130-$150 million. However, PBC Chief Executive Officer Michael Barch is "confident" that the $150 million estimate is over-stated because it holds revenues and expenses constant. He fully anticipates that revenues will be increased by a minimum of $800,000 a month over the transition period while costs will be reduced significantly.
