With our new Patient Tower recently opened, this is a very exciting time for you to join us!

California Hospital has just opened a new patient tower to invest in the future of healthcare in our community. Together, with your help, we can ensure that we become the hospital that our city needs us to be.

The biggest impact of this project is not the physical building, but in how it opens new pathways to lift up the health of our community over the long term. The more efficient and inviting campus will allow us to serve as a hub and access point for a full range of services that extend beyond the traditional reach of a hospital.
