Washington Hospital Opens New $350M Emergency Pavilion in Fremont
Washington Hospital opened a $350-million, three-story emergency and critical care facility in Fremont, CA. The Morris Hyman Critical Care Pavilion, adjacent to the current main hospital tower, is the largest public works project in the Washington Township Health Care District’s history.
Construction commenced in early 2015 on the roughly 225,000-square-foot building at 2000 Mowry Ave., which features a state-of-the-art first-floor emergency department that’s quadruple the size of the hospital’s current one, and can accommodate twice as many patients.
When the original hospital was built 60 years ago to serve Fremont, Newark, Union City and surrounding areas, the area had fewer than 20,000 residents. Since then, the population has grown to more than 350,000, and the hospital’s emergency room is the second busiest in Alameda County.
The pavilion has 68 private/medical surgical rooms and 116 beds, and the new building’s critical care unit is double the capacity of its predecessor, including 48 critical care beds in five pods.
