It will cost more than $600 million to build. Kaiser estimates that it will create about 3,000 jobs during the construction phase.
When the facility opens in 2014, the six-story hospital will have 264 private beds, 10 operating rooms and a 24-hour emergency center. It will be staffed by 2,500 physicians, nurses, technicians and support workers.
