Orange County Almanac
Three high-tech operating rooms and a recovery room have been added to Chapman General Hospital in Orange during the first phase of a $12-million modernization and expansion.
The first phase also included the construction of two labor, delivery and recovery suites designed to allow new fathers to stay overnight with their spouses and babies.
Chapman’s 26,000-square-foot expansion project began in November and is expected to be finished by year’s end.
A 35-bed inpatient unit, a new intensive care unit, an outpatient recovery room and offices for support staff are now being
completed.
