Expanding World-Class Patient Care for the San Joaquin Valley

As one of the region’s largest employers, St. Joseph’s Medical Center (SJMC) in Stockton, California is improving the community’s overall health and the economy. During the past three years, SJMC has invested nearly a quarter-billion dollars to provide community benefits, amenities and uncompensated care to the region. This reflects SJMC’s vision and values, extending health and wellness beyond the walls of the hospital. SJMC’s proposed expansion also serves as an economic driver for the region, increasing economic output through skilled trades during construction. Employment at the hospital will also grow, increasing the number of jobs in the dynamic field of healthcare and hospital administration.

Keeping San Joaquin Valley Residents Healthy for More Than a Century

SJMC has provided Stockton and the surrounding region with care since 1899. The facility  started with 25 beds and has grown with the San Joaquin community. Now, the time has come to expand our facility and services once again to best meet the needs of all patients, regardless of race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status or identity.

Through a carefully designed phased master plan and entitlement process, the proposed modernization will contribute to patient care for generations to come.
