CPMC's Hospital Plans Clear Hurdle

SAN FRANCISCO—California Pacific Medical Center’s planned development of two earthquake-safe hospitals in San Francisco cleared another approval hurdle this week.  

The San Francisco Board of Supervisors unanimously approved the terms of the project, bringing closer to reality CPMC’s rebuild of the existing St. Luke’s Hospital in the Mission district and construction of a new facility at Cathedral Hill, according to a report by the San Francisco Examiner. The project includes a package of $70 million in community benefits for transportation, workforce training, affordable housing and neighborhood improvements.
