As part of its ambitious project to expand the John Muir Medical Centers in Concord and Walnut Creek, the John Muir Health Foundation announced this week that its Campaign Major Gifts committee has raised more than $1 million toward the committee’s $2.5 million goal. Overall, the Foundation is looking for support for the $800 million expansion and renovation of the Walnut Creek and Concord campuses.

In Concord, expansion plans include:

• a five-story patient care building;
• a new Cardiovascular Institute with 12 private cardiovascular ICU beds, 49 private telemetry beds, 4 cardiac catheterization labs, and 12 pre-operative/recovery beds; 
• an expanded Emergency Department with 32 private treatment stations;
• a dedicated Imaging Center in the Emergency Department; and
• 61 new private rooms.

In the Walnut Creek center, the expansion includes

• a five-story comprehensive critical care center; 
• 230 new private rooms; 
• 3 new inpatient surgical suites; 
• 16 additional Intensive Care Neonatal beds; 
• Larger, private critical care rooms to accommodate bedside technology; 
• An expanded Emergency Department with 46 private treatment stations with dedicated imaging technology within the department;
• 4 large trauma treatment rooms; and 
• a relocated rooftop helipad with a high-speed elevator directly to the Emergency Department.

At year-end, the Foundation’s Capital Campaign has netted almost $13 million in donations, including $10M from the The K.H. Hofmann Foundation.
