Kaiser's prognosis - New hospital in Anaheim, CA

Under review from the City Council...BD

ANAHEIM - The City Council considered late Tuesday the fate of two major projects that could shape two areas of town. A new Kaiser Permanente hospital is expected to be a cornerstone development in the city's evolving Canyon business district. The council also discussed the direction of SunCal's proposed housing complex in the Anaheim Resort area, now that the company has stopped spending money on the development that Disney has fought.

The Anaheim City Council voted unanimously Tuesday to approve the first reading of plans for a new Kaiser Permanente hospital on La Palma Avenue, east of Kraemer Boulevard. The La Palma Avenue hospital will be Kaiser's biggest in Orange County.
The health care chain will close its 174-bed Anaheim hospital on Lakeview Avenue within six years – when the new hospital is slated to open – but the future use of that property has not been decided, Kaiser said.
"This hospital is really a state-of-the-art replacement for the hospital on the Lakeview campus," said Kaiser's Orange County CEO Julie Miller-Phipps.
