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.
