History
Construction began in 2007 on a new hospital building. In December 2010 the new medical center was opened at West Seventh Street and Mall Drive, for $114 million. This was done to merge two older hospitals Hanford Community Medical Center and Central Valley General Hospital. The old hospitals will continue to be used under new names. The new hospital building will have 120 private medical-surgical beds, 22 intensive care unit beds, 26 emergency treatment rooms, 6 opertating rooms and a heliport.
Lawsuits
In 2010 Adventist Health, Hanford Community Medical Center and Adventist Health California Medical Foundation were sued by 62 plaintiffs for millions of dollars. A former orthopedic surgeon messed up joint-replacement surgeries, leaving patients in severe pain. And one patient lost their leg after it got infected.
In 2016 an anesthesia technician at Adventist Health Hanford filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against three defendents. An anesthesia nurse for exposing himself and masturbating in front of her in the operating room. And a doctor for inappropriately touching her. And also the hospital was being sued and the hospital asked the court to have the lawsuit settled at arbitration.
Grant
In 2019 Adventist Health Hanford applied for a grant from the California Bridge Program, and was given $175,000 to fight the opioid addictions in Kings County and surrounding areas.
