Its hospital is Kaiser Permanente's Richmond Medical Center at 901 Nevin Avenue downtown, which has a 24-hour emergency department. State records (HCAI) list it as a 50-licensed-bed general acute care campus licensed together with Kaiser's Oakland hospital, and the Nevin Avenue campus is the center of Richmond's medical activity for Kaiser members. Doctors Medical Center, a 120-bed public hospital in neighboring San Pablo that had served western Contra Costa County since 1954, closed on April 21, 2015; the property was sold in 2017 and the building demolished. Contra Costa Health, the county system, runs the North Richmond Center for Health at 1501 Fred Jackson Way, a family practice clinic with on-site lab that accepts Medi-Cal, Medicare and Contra Costa Health Plan patients, and the West County Health Center at 13601 San Pablo Avenue in San Pablo.

View All FAQs? What hospital serves Richmond?
Richmond's hospital is Kaiser Permanente's Richmond Medical Center at 901 Nevin Avenue, which runs a 24-hour emergency department. State records list it as a 50-licensed-bed general acute care campus licensed together with Kaiser's Oakland hospital. Contra Costa County's public hospital, Contra Costa Regional Medical Center, is in Martinez at 2500 Alhambra Avenue. Doctors Medical Center in neighboring San Pablo, once West County's public hospital, closed in April 2015.
? What happened to Doctors Medical Center?
Doctors Medical Center, originally Brookside Hospital, was a 120-bed public hospital in San Pablo that served western Contra Costa County from 1954. After years of financial trouble and repeated state, county and voter-approved rescue funding, the West Contra Costa Healthcare District voted in March 2015 to close it, and it shut on April 21, 2015. The property was sold in 2017, and the building was demolished and replaced with casino parking. The hospital was in San Pablo, not Richmond, and it is no longer an option for referrals.
? Where do community clinics operate in Richmond?
Contra Costa Health, the county health system, runs the North Richmond Center for Health at 1501 Fred Jackson Way. It provides family practice and women's health care with on-site lab services and accepts Medi-Cal, Medicare and Contra Costa Health Plan coverage, with visits scheduled by appointment. The county also runs the West County Health Center at 13601 San Pablo Avenue in neighboring San Pablo. Practices that serve Medi-Cal patients in Richmond may find these county sites useful referral partners.
? What factors should medical practices consider when choosing a location?
Key site selection factors include: proximity to referral sources and hospitals; patient demographics and population density; visibility and accessibility (parking ratios, ADA compliance); competitor proximity; zoning and permitted uses; co-tenancy with complementary healthcare providers; and ease of access for patients including public transit options in urban markets.
? What is a second-generation medical space?
Second-generation (2nd gen) medical space is a suite previously occupied by a medical tenant that retains clinical infrastructure like plumbing, electrical, and possibly exam room layouts. Leasing 2nd gen space can significantly reduce build-out costs and timelines compared to shell condition, though modifications may still be needed to suit your specific practice requirements.
? What parking ratio do medical offices need?
Medical offices typically require higher parking ratios than general office space due to patient turnover throughout the day. A common standard is 5-6 spaces per 1,000 square feet, compared to 3-4 for general office. High-volume practices like urgent care or imaging centers may need even more. Verify the property's parking allocation before signing a lease.
