UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospitals has received final approval on a $1.49 billion hospital building on its Oakland campus that will provide a state-of-the-art, child-centered medical facility for families across the Bay Area. The proposal was approved July 18 by the University of California Board of Regents.
The vote paves the way for UCSF Health to modernize UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital Oakland – a historic pediatric safety net hospital and Level 1 trauma center that has served children and their families in Oakland for more than a century and consistently ranks among the leading children’s hospitals in the nation.
“The new hospital project is our covenant to the community to provide the best care available for all kids, regardless of their socioeconomic level,” said Nicholas Holmes, MD, MBA, president of UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospitals. “We are investing in this hospital to expand access to world-class care for any child for generations to come.”
