The Santa Clarita City Council unanimously approved a Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital expansion plan Tuesday, following a public hearing with protest from members of a local carpenters union and calls by community members to include a mental health care unit for children.
Council members approved the expansion plan, which adds 200,000 square feet of floor area across a new inpatient building and diagnostics and treatment facility, with the added condition that the hospital has a discussion with unions about construction.
The council also added the condition that the hospital returns to the City Council before implementing paid parking in its McBean Parkway and Orchard Village Road parking structure, which also received the green light Tuesday to expand.
