San Jose, Calif.
Regional Medical Center San Jose is designing a new hospital at its 30-acre site in East San Jose. Plans for the new hospital, developed by HCA Inc., will be submitted to the state within a year, with anticipated approval the following year. The facility will eventually replace San Jose Medical Center, which will close in four years. Regional plans approximately 250 beds in the new facility, which will feature an emergency department with trauma room and helipad, triple the size of its former 7,000-sf unit. Containing up to 12 operating rooms and a surgery center, the hospital is slated for completion in 2006.
