UC Davis Health on July 22 hosted a groundbreaking ceremony for the medical center’s California Tower. The expansion project includes a 14-story hospital tower and 5-story pavilion that will deliver superior care for Northern Californians and adapt to meet the evolving needs of the community.

“The addition of the California Tower to UC Davis Medical Center is a testament to our innovative forward thinking across our health system and main campus,” said Chancellor Gary S. May. “This project will position our researchers, students, faculty and staff to meet and adapt to regional health care needs for the next 50 years.”
