Receive presentation on regional impacts of Berkeley hospital closure
In Plain English
Sutter Health plans to close Alta Bates Hospital in Berkeley by 2030 due to costly earthquake safety upgrades. The hospital serves 50,000 emergency patients yearly and handles 5,000 births. If closed, patients would travel 3 miles to Oakland for emergency care, potentially increasing wait times and overwhelming remaining hospitals.
