Cathedral Hill Campus

One pillar of our plan to Rebuild CPMC is to build a new, full-service community hospital on Cathedral Hill, at the intersection of Van Ness and Geary.

The new plan calls for a more modest hospital, with 274 - 304 beds. It will be centrally located in the heart of the City, and will house most of CPMC’s tertiary and quaternary services. Along with the planned 120 beds at the new St. Luke’s Campus, and 100 beds at the existing Davies Campus, CPMC’s total bed count for acute care will range from 494 to 524, which is appropriate to meet our patients’ needs in the coming years.

The new Cathedral Hill hospital will:

• have all single-patient rooms, to improve privacy and infection control
• be able to safely remain open and continue providing essential services after a major earthquake or other disaster
• provide an emergency room centrally located on a major transit route within San Francisco.

Our agreement with the City also includes entitlements for a new medical office building at Cathedral Hill. In addition, CPMC will contribute $14 million to the San Francisco Metropolitan Transit Authority (SFMTA) to support transit facilities serving this new campus.
