The El Camino Hospital Board voted unanimously Wednesday night to buy nearly 16 acres of land in South San Jose, with the goal of building a third hospital facility.

Expansion into San Jose is an important step in handling a growing demand for the hospital’s services, King told the board. Population growth estimates show San Jose’s population is expected to explode over the next thirty years, increasing by 41 percent by 2040, and many patients who come to El Camino Hospital already travel long distances from the southern region of the county.
