California Pacific Medical Center Asked to Fund Community Improvements to Gain Expansion Approval

California Pacific Medical Center in San Francisco, an affiliate of Sutter Health, has slammed San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee, saying his office asked the hospital to contribute $108 million for community improvements as part of gaining approval for the hospital system's proposed $2.5 billion expansion, according to a Mercury News report.


Hospital officials said the mayor also asked the hospital to pay for medical care for low-income patients, cover public transportation costs for certain employees and share profits from its parking garage with the city. The hospital estimates in total the requests would cost $2 billion over 50 years, according to the report.

Four-hospital CPMC is proposing to build a new 555-bed hospital on Cathedral Hill.
