Our commitment is to provide high-quality, convenient care to our neighbors, family and friends. The expansion plan will double the hospital’s size from 50 to 100 beds and add more than 200,000 square feet of new or renovated space. Scheduled for full completion by early 2026, the expansion will allow Berkeley Hospital to serve more patients, reduce wait times and offer advanced care in more specialties.
Highlights of the expansion include:
- Emergency room: Expanding from 14 to 35 bays to treat more patients faster and more comfortably
- Labor and delivery: Expanding and renovating a labor and delivery unit, featuring six delivery rooms, 20 postpartum rooms and plans to elevate to a Level II nursery
- Operating rooms: Supporting higher surgical volumes in orthopedics, general surgery, neurosurgery and more
- Inpatient dialysis: Providing essential care under one roof, reducing the need for patient transfers
- Cardiovascular services: Enhancing cardiovascular inpatient services, including diagnostics and introducing cardiac rehabilitation services
- Medical office building updates: Relocating mammography, adding wound care and hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and establishing a dedicated neurology presence
