In 2024, Kaiser Permanente broke ground on a new 303-bed hospital at its San Jose site, set to open in 2029. The project involves demolishing the existing 50-year-old hospital and constructing a state-of-the-art facility. Designed by Stance Architecture, the new hospital will feature a six-story building, a 35,000-square-foot energy center, and a five-level parking structure. The energy center and service yard are integral to the project’s focus on sustainability and operational efficiency, aligning with the Magnet Model’s transformational leadership. The new hospital will enhance healthcare services in the San Jose community by providing modern facilities and improved patient care. Although the project will result in the removal of 130 trees, it represents a significant transformation of the local healthcare landscape. By 2029, the project will reflect Kaiser Permanente’s long-term commitment to high-quality healthcare and embody transformational leadership principles, driving innovation and community impact.
