UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital Oakland is a core component of UCSF Health’s integrated pediatric health care delivery system. Over the next several years, UCSF Health plans to invest $1.6 billion in modernizing the facilities at UCSF Benioff Oakland, including the construction of a new hospital building, to ensure that future generations of children have access to cutting-edge research-backed care in a healing environment.
With a rich history as a safety net hospital and one of the very few acute care pediatric hospitals with the distinction as a Level 1 trauma center, care delivered at UCSF Benioff Oakland consistently ranks among the top children’s hospitals in the nation. However, aged and undersized facilities with inefficient layouts constrain patient care.
The New Hospital Building project will enable the hospital to serve more patients, accommodate state-of-the-art technology, and transform care services to meet the pediatric needs of our local community and the entire region. Currently, the project is pending approval from the Board of Regents of the University of California in July 2024.
Elements of the New Hospital Building:
- Expanded and modernized emergency department with integrated resources for trauma
- Newly created in-patient bed capacity and services to address the behavioral health needs of children
- Expanded and modernized operating rooms supporting the latest technology and care for cardiovascular services, neurosurgery, cancer and orthopedic services
- A new Neonatal Intensive Care Unit with private rooms and rooms to care for multiples
- Private patient rooms and improved, dedicated space for patient and family support
This project is a central part of UCSF Health’s strategy to become the leading provider of excellent pediatric care for all Bay Area children, regardless of the ability to pay, in spaces that will support leading-edge care. The project will also provide economic stimulus through a commitment to creating well-paid, union jobs and supporting small, disadvantaged, and local businesses.
