California Pacific Medical Center is embarking on an ambitious plan to bring the next generation of health care to the residents of San Francisco and surrounding areas.
In part, this plan is spurred by the California law - SB 1953 - which requires all hospital inpatient facilities to meet stringent seismic standards no later than January 1, 2015. California Pacific Medical Center also sees this as an opportunity to create environments that better support the needs of patients, patients’ families, doctors and affiliated healthcare providers in the 21st Century.
To help us achieve this, we evaluated our options at each existing campus and developed a plan that would meet the state mandate, while serving important medical center and neighborhood needs such as:
We believe our goals can be achieved with plan that includes renovations at the Davies, Pacific and St. Luke’s Campuses and the creation of a new Cathedral Hill Campus.
Learn more about why we need to Rebuild CPMC.
