KAISER PERMANENTE EXPANDING!

On September 16, 1992, Kaiser Permanente broke ground on the Roseville Medical Center. Six years later, the 116-bed hospital opened to the community, completing our first phase of construction for our campus.

At the time, much of the land around the hospital campus was fields of grass. Since then, the City of Roseville has grown significantly and become widely known as one of the best places in the country to raise a family, retire, work, and play.

Just like the city, Kaiser Permanente has grown since opening the doors of the hospital in 1998. The then 116-bed hospital has already expanded multiple times and now boasts 352 licensed beds and includes a stand-alone Women and Children’s Center housing a 60-bed neonatal intensive care unit. Nearly 365,000 people living in Roseville and neighboring communities get their care at Kaiser Permanente in Roseville.

“The tremendous growth of both the city and our membership in this area means our Roseville Medical Center needs to expand again to meet the needs of the community,” said Kim Menzel, senior vice president and area manager for Kaiser Permanente, Roseville, and current president of the Roseville Area Chamber of Commerce. “That is why we are so excited to be moving forward on major expansion plans that will help increase access to high-quality care and state-of-the-art medical equipment.”

Expansion plans for hospital at 1600 Eureka Road include a six-story, 138-bed tower with 20 additional, much-needed intensive care unit beds that we will increase to 30 in the future. Kaiser Permanente will also be adding 36 beds in our Emergency Department and up to 6 main operating rooms along with a new discharge pharmacy and expanded imaging and diagnostics services. To help accommodate all patients and visitors, Kaiser Permanente is building a second parking garage on the campus.

“We are honored to serve our Roseville community, but the fact is we need more room,” said Rich Florio, MD, physician-in-chief for Kaiser Permanente, Roseville. “In 2021, our emergency room saw the second most ER patients in the entire state of California, behind the Los Angeles County Medical Center. And more than 1 out of every 100 babies born in the state is born right here in our own Women and Children’s Center.”

These additions will ensure that Kaiser Permanente continues to provide the same high level of quality care and service that contributes to the high-quality of life the residents of Roseville have come to expect.
