The expansion, the construction of which began in 2017, was originally slated to open on 27 May 2020.

With the opening, Sutter Roseville Medical Center further strengthens its emergency department, nearly doubles the number of critical-care beds and adds 58 more private rooms.

The expansion is also connected to the existing emergency department on the first floor and surgical and critical care services on the second.

Sutter Roseville CEO Brian Alexander said: “When our team met in late February to discuss surge preparations for Covid-19, it was apparent that we needed to move up the opening of this expansion to ensure we had the highest level of care available for the expanding needs of our community and region.
