How will patient beds be organized?
Nursing units will be separated by service; instead of a medical/surgical unit, the hospital will house medical patients on one floor and surgical patients on the other. Each floor will have two 30-bed units and its own 11-bed ICU for a total of 142 beds. Currently, HCMC has the only ICU in Hanford, and it has 10 beds. The hospital will also have space for the addition of 60 additional medical-surgical beds as needs expand in the community.
