About 140 patients on Tuesday will be transported from the Kaiser Permanente Bellflower facility to the new hospital in Downey.

The $390 million Kaiser Permanente Downey Medical Center, which opens Tuesday, will replace the 44-year-old Bellflower facility as the main facility for the region.

The new six-story, 352-bed facility meets earthquake building standards and includes operating rooms equipped with high-definition cameras, digital radiology, an industry-leading electronic health record system, a full-service emergency department and 24-hour pharmacy.

My colleague Kelly Puente will have more details in the Press-Telegram on Tuesday and Wednesday.
