HEALTH CARE : Chapman General Hospital in Orange Will Undergo $10-Million Expansion
- Share via
Chapman General Hospital, a 104-bed facility in Orange, said it will undergo a $10-million expansion, to be completed in early 1995.
The 26,000-square-foot expansion will not increase the number of hospital beds, though patient rooms will be moved onto a new second floor. The hospital plans to double its operating rooms from three to six and expand its intensive care ward from six beds to 12. Two new labor and delivery rooms are planned, and the second floor will house new patient rooms.
The expansion is intended to allow the hospital to provide more preventive medicine services and specialty surgeries, said Howard Levine, chief executive officer of the hospital. He said patients had been requesting those services.
To meet another community demand, the hospital recently opened a primary-care clinic staffed by Japanese-speaking doctors, nurses and technicians.
The hospital said it will remain fully operational during the expansion.
