County allocates funds for San Antonio Community Hospital Foundation
The San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors approved a $4,500 allocation Tuesday to assist the San Antonio Community Hospital Foundation, according to a county news release.
The foundation is currently raising money to help finance the Upland-based hospital's $100 million expansion and improvement plans, which are expected to start in 2010.
"San Antonio Community Hospital has been providing quality medical care in our community for more than 100 years and I'm proud to support the hospital's efforts to expand and improve its facility to meet the growing demand for health care in our region," said San Bernardino County Second District Supervisor Paul Biane, in the news release.
Biane and Board of Supervisors Chairman Gary Ovitt, requested the funds, according to the release.
San Antonio Community Hospital is adding 52 emergency room beds and a new tower with 92 patient beds. The hospital is also making mandated seismic improvements and plans to purchase new state-of-the-art medical equipment to monitor patients' vital signs.
The expansion aims to further improve and streamline patient care at the hospital by nearly doubling the size of the emergency room and separating it into three sections: urgent care, emergency medicine and critical care. The emergency room at San Antonio Community Hospital takes in approximately 200 patients a day and nearly 70,000 annually.
