Walter and Leonore Annenberg Pavilion

onstruction of the $212.5 million, state-of-the-art Walter and Leonore Annenberg Pavilion is nearing completion. The exterior of the pavilion is mostly finished, with landscaping still in progress, and inside, each floor is progressing quickly. Construction will be completed early in 2010, and the facility will be in use by mid-2010, dependent on licensing by officials with the state of California.

The first level of the new Annenberg Pavilion will house 34 beds in critical care units (Intensive Care, Coronary Care, Cardiac Surgical), while the lower level will house the hospital cafeteria, Information Systems, Environmental Services, Nutritional Services and the Materials Management departments. The second, third and fourth levels will contain patient rooms fully equipped with state-of-the-art monitoring capabilities and medication dispensing technologies. The second floor will also house a critical care area with a 12-bed Intensive Care Unit dedicated to neuroscience patients.

Eisenhower Medical Center is proud to offer excellent medical care to our community. The inpatient pavilion will meet California state requirements for seismic safety mandated by Senate Bill 1953 and will also fulfill the Medical Center’s need to address continued growth in the Coachella Valley.
