Like California Pacific Medical Center, San Francisco General Hospital, the regional trauma center, is undergoing a reconstruction in order to meet 2015 seismic standards.

The new San Francisco General Hospital will have 284 beds, 14 operating rooms, and provide the only Level-1 trauma care in the city. The 460,000 sq ft steel structure will consist of two levels below grade and eight levels above grade including a mechanical penthouse. The hospital will feature a 40,000 sq ft emergency room, a 20,000 sq ft radiology department, and units providing Intensive Care, Critical Care, Neonatal Intensive Care, and Forensic services. Other service areas will include Obstetrics, Pediatrics, Sterile Processing, Pharmacy, Laboratory, Pulmonary Function, Biomedical, Morgue and Autopsy.
