A $1 B Hospital Plan for Los Gatos
A Vision of Modern Healthcare for the Community
Los Gatos is poised to welcome a $1 billion, all-electric medical campus that will redefine healthcare in the region. Proposed by El Camino Health, the 344,000-square-foot facility will nearly double the size of the existing hospital, integrating advanced technology and sustainable design.
Key Features of the New Campus
- 122 private patient rooms (replacing shared spaces)
- Two state-of-the-art operating theaters
- Expanded emergency department with 25 bays
- Larger stroke unit for critical care
- Level III neonatal intensive care
- Robust heart program with interventional cardiology
- Broader surgical services
Why This Matters
The current 138,000-square-foot hospital, built in 1962, no longer meets modern seismic standards and lacks the infrastructure for emerging medical advancements. The new campus will: ✔ Prioritize patient comfort with private, spacious rooms ✔ Support healthcare providers with a well-designed work environment ✔ Set a sustainability benchmark as the first all-electric hospital in Los Gatos, drastically reducing carbon emissions
A Legacy of Community Investment
Since 2009, El Camino Health has invested over $300 million in renovations and grants. This expansion aligns with their mission to bring advanced medical services closer to residents while reinforcing the hospital’s role as a cornerstone of local healthcare.
Looking Ahead
Scheduled for completion around 2032, the new campus will keep the existing 143-bed hospital operational during construction. This project represents a transformative leap in healthcare infrastructure, ensuring a healthier future for students, families, and the broader community.
