California hospital prepping for $125M expansion

Alia Paavola -

French Hospital Medical Center in San Luis Obispo, Calif., part of Chicago-based CommonSpirit Health network, is preparing for its $125 million campus expansion, according to the New Times San Luis Obispo. 

The expansion will more than double the size of the current facility and include a four-story patient tower with 82 patient rooms, neonatal and adult intensive care units, a helicopter landing pad and a rooftop garden. 

The project also calls for a 243-space parking structure.

The project is slated to begin later this year and to end in 2022. 

CommonSpirit Health was formed in February by the merger of San Francisco-based Dignity Health and Engewood, Colo.-based Catholic Health Initiatives.
