Rudolph and Sletten Completes Expansion of the Bakersfield Memorial Hospital

Rudolph and Sletten announces the completion of the Bakersfield
Memorial Hospital expansion. The project added four stories to an
existing one-story and basement structure. The new five-story tower
significantly increased the hospital's size and allowed for
upgraded technology throughout the hospital including facility-wide
wireless monitoring of patients.
The new five-story tower and its 70,000 square feet adds 114 new
private patient rooms including, 24 new beds to the Intensive Care
Unit, 60 private general medical care rooms and 30 private
post-partum rooms for moms and babies. Two rooms on each floor are
set up as negative pressure isolation rooms, should the need to
contain infectious patients be required.
Numerous upgrades to the basement footings, columns and beams
were required to meet the State's seismic standards for hospitals.
The physical structure of Bakersfield Memorial Hospital now meets
California earthquake standards that won't be required until
2013.
"The Bakersfield Memorial Hospital presented a number of
challenges from joining the new tower into the existing structure
to meeting seismic standards, all while remaining cognoscente that
the hospital was continuing to operate as normal," said Martin
Sisemore, President and CEO for Rudolph and Sletten. "But our
well-prepared team along with the hospital's leadership met these
challenges and achieved an earlier than expected completion and
approval from the Office of Statewide Health Planning and
Development (OSHPD)."
The Bakersfield Memorial Hospital is a member of the Catholic
Healthcare West.
