San Jose, Calif.
O’Connor Hospital broke ground on a new $10 million emergency department in San Jose, Calif., in December 2003. Increasing bed count from 11 to 21, the facility will accommodate a trauma room, two emergency gynecology rooms, and six chest-pain rooms with special monitoring equipment. Turner Construction is the project contractor. The new emergency department will be relocated to the front of the hospital to increase visibility. The hospital is also planning to construct a $2 million endovascular suite.
