Green hospitals are nothing new in California, but a major medical-center project in northern San Diego County may be going a big step beyond the state’s environmentally friendly norm.
Team members working on the $956-million Palomar Medical Center West replacement hospital say they are aiming to set a new standard in the design of health-care facilities. The project, now under way, has had some bumps along its path but is scheduled to be completed in April 2012.
