Riverside Regional Medical Center is building 13 new operating rooms and a new patient entrance as part of a $107 million construction project.

The addition next to the emergency department will replace the hospital's original operating rooms, which were built in the 1960s. It provides one entrance for both outpatient and inpatient surgeries, cutting down on confusion for patients coming into the hospital.

The second floor includes 72 private patient rooms. Part of that is an 18-bed surgical intensive-care unit that's separate from the hospital's regular medical intensive-care unit. It includes a neurosurgical intensive-care unit to support Riverside's stroke program. Riverside has the only Peninsula primary stroke center with on site neurosurgery and interventional neuroradiology. It does matter where you go.

Orthopedics will also relocate from the existing hospital to the addition.
