Women and Family Center

Currently, the Women and Family department (maternity) is housed in the oldest portions of Tahoe Forest hospital. Those structures do not meet current California seismic codes for hospitals and we need to relocate that department to a compliant structure.

The plan is to remove portions of the south end of the hospital structure which were originally constructed in 1952 and 1966, and build a replacement facility to provide the highest quality care in state-of-the-art facilities.

The new “South Building” will be attached to the existing hospital facility near our existing Western Addition, which houses our in-patient unit. In addition to Women and Family, the new South Building will also accommodate the relocation of critical departments and dietary kitchen to compliant spaces.

This project will require significant staging and relocation of certain departments, and will be completed during the final phase of construction.

For local history buffs: we will be retaining the “big rock” at the south-western portion of the campus!
