PLEASANTON, CA-San Ramon Regional Medical Center and John Muir Health have acquired a building with more than 92,000 square feet here that will hold the new Pleasanton Outpatient Center. The center is expected to open in early 2015. The acquisition is part of the joint venture partnership announced in 2013 between Tenet Healthcare, parent company of the San Ramon Regional Medical Center, and John Muir Health, a not-for-profit integrated system of doctors, hospitals and other healthcare services in the San Francisco Bay area, based in Walnut Creek.

San Ramon Regional Medical Center and John Muir Health are purchasing the building at 5860 Owens Drive for approximately $19 million.

“The Pleasanton Outpatient Center is another step toward fulfilling our goal to expand and improve care, access, and services for patients in the growing Tri-Valley area and surrounding communities,” said Paul Smith, acting chief executive officer of the joint venture. “The Center will be more convenient for patients, who can access a full range of services under one roof, and allows us to work better as a team to coordinate care and enhance the patient experience.”
