San Marcos Mayor Rebecca Jones revealed in a speech this week that Oakland, Calif.-based Kaiser Permanente had received approval to build a 206-bed hospital in the city.
The hospital will be built on a 38-acre parcel and have an emergency room, labor and delivery suite and robotic surgery department. It is expected to employ 500 people.
The mayor also said that San Diego-based Scripps Health had signed an agreement to build a 14,000-square-foot primary care facility in San Marcos, expected to open in spring of 2021.
“The health business base is an important part of a thriving community,” Ms. Jones said during her speech, according to the Tribune.
