Each warmly decorated patient room is equipped with a private bath, and a 42" flat screen with Internet access, affording patients privacy and comfort during their stay. Surgeons have modern equipment, accommodating anesthesia and blocked time with back-to-back operating rooms.

The medical center now anticipates the 2015 opening of a birth center next door. This center will feature all private rooms and a design focused on the patient's experience. It will offer 34 beds for mothers, two operating rooms and a six-bed neonatal intensive care beds that will be served by Children's Hospital Central California.
