- [Narrator] Introducing Kaiser Permanente's beautiful
new state-of-the-art San Diego Medical Center,
a world-class addition to our integrated health care system
that includes the Kaiser Permanente Zion Medical Center,
the Palomar Medical Center in Escondido,
and 24 medical offices throughout San Diego County.
More than 617,000 square feet in size,
the San Diego Medical Center is centrally located
in the Kearny Mesa area with easy access to major freeways.
Parking is free
and includes electric vehicle charging stations.
We are also proud to say that our dedication to green design
and energy efficiency has earned the San Diego Medical Center
certification as a LEED Platinum health care facility.
Like all our facilities the San Diego Medical Center
provides the very best in patient care
through integrated medicine, advanced technology,
and an expert care team that is committed to your health.
Your care begins directly outside your room
where a touch display shows information
that allows clinicians and staff
to quickly understand your medical situation,
and offers visual reminders for specific care needs,
such as medications, treatments, turning, and mobility.
These displays also allow nurses
to control your in-room lighting,
window shades, and temperature,
to make sure your stay is customized for you.
Inside the room, the integrated care board,
a 75 inch flatscreen display,
enables you to watch your favorite shows on TV,
view educational videos, order room service,
place nurse calls,
and even have virtual visits with your physician.
Everything is integrated
into Kaiser Permanente's HealthConnect system
that makes sure real-time medical information is available
to you and your care team where and when it's needed.
We also have special rooms designed for our patients
with a high risk for falling.
These rooms are equipped
with cameras and motion sensor technology
that alerts staff when a patient
begins to exit their bed or chair,
enabling the caregiver to quickly assist
before the fall even occurs.
Our real-time location services
help our staff to be more efficient
by helping locate equipment within the facility,
giving them more time to provide you with excellent care.
We are also dedicated to providing your children
with the highest quality medical care while in the hospital.
Our new pediatric care department
gives our young patients and their families
all the comfort they need to make their stay
as stress-free as possible.
The new San Diego Medical Center
has a 24-hour outpatient pharmacy
and a comprehensive emergency department
that is fully staffed and tech-supported
for your critical medical needs.
Our surgery department
features state-of-the-art surgical tools and technology,
such as the da Vinci robot,
which is designed to facilitate complex surgery
using a minimally invasive approach.
At our new maternal child health center,
we want you to feel like you're receiving the VIP treatment
from the moment you arrive.
This begins with special parking spaces
reserved just for expectant parents.
When you check-in,
you can be sure that our specially-trained nursing team
will coordinate with your obstetrician
to provide you and your new baby with the very best care.
In most situations, your labor, delivery, recovery,
and postpartum will be in the same room,
so you can settle in while we make sure you
and your new baby are comfortable and safe.
We want to make sure this moment of bonding
with your newborn is intimate and special.
Friends and family are wonderful support during this time
and visitors are always welcome.
While most babies arrive ready to take on the world,
some need a little extra help.
Our neonatal intensive care unit, or NICU,
is ready to provide the very best medical care
should your baby need support
getting off to a healthy start.
We are here to give you the very best birthing experience
so you can return home with your beautiful new baby
and many wonderful memories of this special time.
At Kaiser Permanente, we believe that environment
plays a large part in the healing process.
Besides the patient-focused rooms and common areas,
you and your visitors can find respite
on two miles of walking paths in the healing gardens
and in other quiet areas of repose.
As the newest member of the Kaiser Permanente family,
the San Diego Medical Center provides you
with the best care available.
With our state-of-the-art technology,
and expert physicians, specialists, and staff,
we are committed to your total health and wellness,
body, mind, and spirit.
