Orange, Calif.–based UCI Health is planning to open the nation’s first all-electric acute care hospital.
The UCI Health-Irvine hospital is a 144-bed facility expected to open in December, according to a June 26 system news release.
“This building is different from a traditional medical center in that we don’t use any carbon fuels for our normal operations,” Joe Brothman, director of UCI Health General Services, said in the release. “All of the electricity we use is either generated onsite or procured through sustainable sources.”
The facility is powered by solar panels on the roof and uses recycled water.
