We’re growing! In recent years, Kaweah Delta has provided an increasingly complex level of services to record numbers of inpatient, outpatient and emergency department visitors. Surgical, medical, cardiology, oncology and Emergency Department services at the downtown campus have grown significantly due to increased population and the closure of several smaller area hospitals. Here’s a look at how we are growing to better serve our community in the future.

New Acute Care Hospital

Kaweah Delta is in the process of planning for a new acute care hospital. There are three key points you should know as we continue to study the project scope and costs associated with building a new acute care hospital by 2030.  

1. California requires that all acute care hospitals meet strict earthquake safety requirements. Our hospital, built almost 50 years ago, does not meet these stringent standards.  

2. Kaweah Delta needs to replace the 50-year-old hospital with a new acute care hospital to be able to offer emergency life-saving care, handle the increasing number of patients, and retain quality nurses and doctors.  

3. The new hospital will require multiple funding sources including: hospital cash reserves, revenue and general obligation bonds, state and federal grants, and fund raising.  

As soon as there is more information on planning for this new acute care hospital, we will provide an update so that we can approach this issue together in the interest of best serving our community.
