$390 million expansion to begin at Clovis Community Medical Center
Clovis Community Medical Center will add 144 private beds under a $390 million expansion project approved Tuesday by the corporate hospital board of trustees.
The project will add:
- 190,000 square feet to the hospital campus, including a five-story private room tower
- 15,000 square feet to the emergency room
- Six operating rooms
- 24 intensive care beds
It also will increase the size of the radiology, pharmacy and laboratory areas and the kitchen and dining areas.
Clovis Community will have 352 all-private beds when the project is completed in 2022.
The project will begin next month and will include a new parking garage and a two-story, 60,000-square-foot clinical and administrative building.
"We need to significantly expand inpatient capacity in our hospital system, and this Clovis project is the quickest and most cost-effective way to do it," Tim Joslin, Community Medical Centers' president and CEO, said in a statement.
Work will begin on the project next month and is expected to employ about 2,500 construction workers.
Clovis Community is one of four hospitals operated by Community Medical Centers, which also operates Community Regional Medical Center in downtown Fresno, Fresno Heart & Surgical Hospital and Community Behavioral Health Center in Fresno.
The Clovis Community expansion will be paid from operations and donations, Community Medical Centers said.
Community Medical Centers' Board of Trustees approved a similar $320 million expansion at Clovis Community in 2014, which doubled the hospital's capacity and created all-private patient rooms.
This month, a new parking garage and medical office building opened at Community Regional.
