Overview
- The project adds 234 private inpatient rooms, bringing Good Samaritan to 339 beds, including 155 medical/surgical/telemetry, 22 ICU, and 57 for women’s and children’s services.
- Construction will be phased to keep the hospital operating, starting with a new parking garage followed by a central utility plant before the new patient tower.
- The expansion includes enlarged surgical, cardiac, catheterization and diagnostic areas, plus shell space for future emergency rooms, operating rooms and imaging suites.
- Hospital leaders say the new tower will comply with California’s seismic standards so the facility can remain operational after major earthquakes.
- HCA characterizes the effort as its largest single-hospital investment, with planners estimating roughly 1,550 construction jobs over the course of the build.
