New Redwood City hospital frame goes up in 73 seconds

A time lapse video of the new Kaiser Permanente Redwood City Hospital can be viewed on the Kaiser Permanente YouTube site. The link is attached, below. The 73 second video covers the time from first steel on December 5, 2011, to topping out on January 27, 2012. The completed structure skeleton is a tribute to the ironworkers and others who labored nearly every day over the holiday season and beyond. Over 10,000 steel beams were lifted into place by a 300-foot crane and fastened together with more than 42,000 bolts. Click on the link and enjoy the video; it runs only 73 seconds to raise the 7-story, 280,000-square-foot hospital. Click here to watch the video.

Kaiser Permanente Redwood City Medical Center

Kaiser Permanente has been providing health care in Redwood City and its surrounding areas since 1952. Our medical center includes our hospital and several outpatient facilities. We hope you find this website informative and helpful in learning about the health care services we provide.

In our accredited hospital, we provide a wide range of specialized services including cardiology, chronic conditions management, and neuro-interventional radiology. Members from Northern California travel to our Neuroscience Center because we specialize in the treatment of stroke and neurological disorders. Our outpatient medical offices, laboratory, and pharmacies are in one location around our medical center campus to make it easy for you to receive all the services you need.

We are continuously updating our facilities and services to better serve our members. In 2011, we broke ground on our new hospital. Visit the new hospital page to view a simulated video tour of our new facility. 

In the city of San Mateo, we will be opening new medical offices where we will provide family-centered care. Visit our San Mateo Medical Offices website for the latest information on the new facility, scheduled to open in August 15, 2011.
