加利福尼亚州埃默里维尔市萨特医疗放弃10亿美元湾区新医院计划 称环评不确定性难推进

加利福尼亚州阿拉米达县埃默里维尔市消息:萨特医疗10月30日突然宣布,不再推进在埃默里维尔建设一座耗资10亿美元的新医院,转而扩大门诊服务并另寻新院址,理由是加州环境质量法案带来的不确定性。
萨特医疗表示,两年多来一直在争取环评方面的确定性,但始终未能获得推进项目所需的保障,项目仍面临可能拖延数年并推迟新医院服务的诉讼风险。这座原定17层、约325张床位、设有急诊服务与屋顶直升机停机坪、总面积约130万平方英尺的新院区,原计划取代因不符合加州医院抗震安全规定而定于2030年关闭的伯克利阿尔塔·贝茨峰会医疗中心。
萨特医疗已于2025年初以4.5亿美元购入埃默里维尔霍利斯街与53街交汇处的院区用地。萨特医疗表示,将继续扩大在埃默里维尔的门诊服务,包括初级保健、专科、诊断、泌尿外科、骨科、影像、检验与药房服务,同时推动立法,争取让阿尔塔·贝茨医疗中心在新医院建成前继续开放,并强调目前对东湾54.2万名患者的服务不会立即改变。

Sutter Health Abandons $1 Billion Emeryville Hospital Plan, Citing Environmental Review Uncertainty
Sutter Health announced on October 30 that it will no longer pursue a $1 billion new hospital in Emeryville, California, citing uncertainty under the California Environmental Quality Act. The health system said more than two years of efforts failed to secure the certainty needed to advance the project, leaving it exposed to litigation that could delay construction and new hospital services for years.
The planned campus — a 17-story tower with roughly 325 beds, emergency services and a rooftop helipad, totaling about 1.3 million square feet — was intended to replace Berkeley's Alta Bates Summit Medical Center, which is scheduled to close in 2030 for failing to meet state seismic safety rules. Sutter bought the Emeryville site at Hollis and 53rd streets for $450 million in early 2025.
Sutter said it will expand outpatient services in Emeryville, including primary and specialty care, diagnostics, urology, orthopedics, imaging, laboratory and pharmacy services, and will pursue legislation allowing Alta Bates to stay open until a new hospital is built. It said care for its 542,000 East Bay patients will not change immediately.
