San Jose, Calif.-based Regional Medical Center's trauma center will modify heart attack and stroke programs and remain open after pushback from local stakeholders.
Its trauma center will transition to a Level 3 center from Level 2 status, according to a July 19 news release. It will also operate as a stroke center with the ability to "address the needs of 97% of stroke patients," transferring the remaining cases to acute care providers, the release said.
Additionally, capacity for the emergency department will be increased from 43 to 63 beds by 2025.
Trauma services were set to close Aug. 12 because of low utilization, the hospital reported on Feb. 14. The revised services will now begin Aug. 12.
The County of Santa Clara Board of Supervisors previously asked the state to deny the closure, citing a report that stated the hospital sees 25% of all trauma cases in the county.
The 252-bed hospital is part of Nashville, Tenn.-based HCA Healthcare.
