Watch Us Grow

On Monday, January 15, Redlands Community Hospital began construction on a renovation project that will expand and improve our emergency department and surgical center. The main entrance to the hospital is temporarily relocated to the maternity/ surgery services entrance where patients, visitors, physicians and staff are asked to enter the hospital. While construction is in progress, we will continue to operate our shuttles and have volunteers and staff assist patients and visitors to reach their destinations. Construction is expected to last through August 2019.

The renovation will include an 8,700 square foot Surgery Center that will add four new operating rooms, including a new hybrid intervention suite that will allow the hospital to treat a wide range of neurological and vascular conditions, and perform many of the most complex neurosurgery procedures. The one-story building will be north of the maternity and surgery services building, which already has eight operating rooms.

The Emergency Department renovation will include the development of an additional eight-bed fast track area, a 12-bed pod for moderately ill or injured patients, a 12-bed high-acuity pod with two critical-care rooms, five rapid medical evaluation/triage stations and additional nursing stations and offices. Rather than one large waiting room, the renovation will create smaller waiting rooms that will be closer to the examination and treatment areas. Patients undergoing laboratory tests can relax in nearby waiting areas until their results are available, freeing up beds and exam rooms for other patients. Once the renovation is complete, the emergency department will more than double in size from 8,000 to 20,000 square feet.

As our community continues to grow, Redlands Community Hospital is committed to expanding its facilities and enhancing the care it provides to its patients. We apologize for any inconvenience or disruption you may experience during this time.
