The project will deliver a new 715K SF high-tech medical center with 234 single-patient rooms, The Mercury News reported. The new facility will be integrated with an existing four-story women’s hospital.
The effort, led by hospital owner HCA Healthcare, is designed to expand capacity and update care to more modern standards, with new operating, emergency and inpatient treatment rooms.
The project will include space for expanded investment in integrated AI and robotics. In addition to the hospital, Good Samaritan will be constructing a central utility plant to support hospital operations.
The groundbreaking comes as hospitals are racing to meet a 2030 deadline to meet statewide seismic safety standards.
Sutter Health expects to deliver a $422M, five-story center in 2028. It is just one of a flurry of large Bay Area healthcare projects in the pipeline. Sutter Health has another $1B project in Emeryville. UCSF and Kaiser Permanente each have planned projects in the works, as well.
Federal funding cuts are hitting smaller, rural hospitals hard and forcing some to close, sending patients to larger hospital chains nearer to major metro areas. Those larger projects are having to adapt.
