Oakland, Calif.-based Kaiser Permanente broke ground on an inpatient tower with 138 beds at Roseville (Calif.) Medical Center, which serves about 360,000 healthcare members in the area, per Becker’s.
The 272,000-square-foot tower will have 138 beds — including 20 for the intensive care unit — and add 36 beds to an expanded emergency department. It will also feature six new operating rooms, a pharmacy and an expanded area for imaging and diagnostics.
Construction costs for the tower were estimated at $298 million in 2022. Kaiser is expected to spend about $1 billion for the overall project, which includes the inpatient tower, equipment, furnishings, infrastructure upgrades, design and parking facilities.
The project is expected to be completed by 2027.
