Let us welcome in 2010 by celebrating positive growth and a flourishing future for our community. San Ramon Regional Medical Center recently broke ground for our new $10.7 million emergency department and laboratory expansion project.
San Ramon Regional Medical Center was originally developed in the mid-1980s and built-out over five years. The hospital opened in 1990. The medical center is a full-service acute care hospital. Inpatient services include medical, surgical, obstetrics, intensive care nursery, intensive care and coronary care facilities. In an effort to provide enhanced services and facilities to their patients, the Medical Center will expand the hospital by 6,400 sq. ft.
The new construction project represents the hospital’s commitment to respond to the needs of our growing community. The expansion will include:
- 8,900 square feet Emergency Department with improved patient flow
- Expansion from 9 beds to 16 beds
- Private patient rooms in ED
- Negative-pressure isolation room
- Enlarged patient waiting room
- Dedicated X-ray machine
- Increased efficiencies in the Clinical Laboratory for chemistry, hematology and the blood bank areas
The expansion project is well-designed and integrated with the existing medical campus. With this expansion San Ramon will be better prepared for community disasters, better equipped to respond to community emergency needs, and more responsive to physician and patients. The project is expected to be completed in 18 to 24 months.
I am proud of San Ramon Regional Medical Center for developing an extraordinary hospital that serves the San Ramon Valley community and our physicians with excellence.
The City staff, Council, and I will continue to support the positive growth of our existing businesses. We will seek to bring new businesses into our City and continue to support San Ramon’s business community. Together we can – Together we will – Make a difference – and make a better community this coming year. You may contact Mayor Wilson by email at: hawilson@sanramon.ca.gov
