Regional Medical Center reversed its decision last week to completely close the trauma center.
Regional Medical Center in San Jose, Calif., is photographed, Friday, July 19, 2024, after it announced a plan to downgrade the hospital’s trauma center from a Level II to a Level III facility. San Jose community leaders are decrying a plan by HCA Healthcare to expand a local hospital on the western edge of the city while downgrading care at Regional Medical Center on the East Side.
San Jose Councilmember Peter Ortiz, who represents the district that includes Regional Medical Center, said that he’s troubled that HCA is asking the city for its support on the expansion while cutting medical services that will largely impact Latino and Vietnamese immigrant families. A Regional Medical Center official said in a statement that Good Samaritan Hospital started “the process of meeting California’s 2030 seismic standards three years ago.”
