Emergency Care
WE’RE OPEN! As part of French Hospital Medical Center’s Beyond Health movement to redefine health care on the Central Coast, we are proud to announce the highly anticipated opening of the new Oppenheimer Family Center for Emergency Medicine.
The new facility was designed for a high volume of emergency patients with a very strong commitment to comfort, efficiency, holistic healing, and privacy. It was carefully designed with patient comfort and safety in mind utilizing best-in-class modalities and technologies. At the forefront of cutting-edge emergency medicine, the new building features 18 private treatment rooms compared to the five bed ward and semi-private rooms that previously existed. Specialized rooms are designated for critical care, geriatric patients, trauma, infectious disease isolation, pediatrics, and orthopedic emergencies, as well as fast-track beds for patients with less urgent conditions. It also features specialized exam accommodations for patients experiencing behavioral health related issues.
In addition to the much needed emergency expansion, French Hospital is going beyond with a momentous transformation of its hospital campus. Learn more about the expansion here.
