San Joaquin General Hospital—a leading General Acute Care facility providing a full range of inpatient services including General Medical/Surgical Care, High-Risk Obstetrics and Neonatal Intensive Care, and Pediatrics— broke ground March 10th on its new 34,000 square foot acute care wing. The new two story acute care building will be constructed to the South and connect directly to the main Hospital. The new hospital wing’s first floor will feature a fully modernized 23 bed Neonatal intensive care unit. The second floor will contain 20 upgraded medical/surgical beds and will accommodate patients in modern private rooms. The new facility will enhance the Hospital’s ability to meet infection control standards and offer a higher level of patient privacy. The new addition will also feature upgraded security, a new nurse call system with state-of-the-art communication technology. The project is officially titled: Phase 2
Acute Care Patient Wing expansion. The Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development (OSHPD) approved the initial Phase 2 expansion architectural plans on February 9, 2016. The Sacramento firm of Otto Construction has been awarded the contract to construct the building, along with the firms of AECOM managing the construction phases with Hammel Green and Abrahamson, project architects providing construction administration and planning. A completion date for the entire project is set for July of 2018. The entire project has been budgeted for $34,698,000 and has been approved by the San Joaquin Board of Supervisors. The new wing will function as a modern replacement for some of the Hospital’s services, which are still being provided in the original brick “tower building” constructed in 1934. The historic tower will remain onsite for some administration, record storage and other duties as determined in the future. The new acute care wing will function as another positive step for the Hospital to
advance from a level III trauma center to a level II trauma center in the foreseeable future. In addition to the 196-bed Hospital, the medical campus includes multiple facilities dedicated to comprehensive Outpatient Services including Primary Care, specialty clinics and a Primary Care Walk-In Clinic all operated under San Joaquin County Clinics. The Hospital and Clinic’s Ambulatory Care Network, including 11 provider sites throughout San Joaquin County, provides over 200,000 outpatient clinic visits a year. San Joaquin General Hospital and Clinics have a fully staffed, centrally located clinic at 1414 North California Street in Stockton offering convenient access to Primary, Maternity and Specialty Care services. San Joaquin General’s healthcare efforts are supported by a staff of over 1,400 local medical professionals. Visit SJGeneral.org for more information
