Sutter’s plans for the Sutter Medical Center of Santa Rosa include the 70-bed hospital with a possible 29-bed expansion, a 28-bed physician-owned hospital and medical offices.
The health district’s board must approve Sutter’s plans before construction begins. The board will determine whether or not the plans meet the county’s Health Care Access Agreement obligations, which require the provision of certain services by the hospital to county residents, according to the report.
The board will study expected impact of the proposed hospital on the financial performance of the hospital district’s two facilities and will examine if the proposed 70-bed facility will meet area need for hospital services.
