NorthBay Healthcare, which just completed a $20 million Green Valley Health Plaza, announced plans to begin major construction projects on two hospital campuses in Fairfield and Vacaville that will total an additional $180 million, according to an article on the North Bay Business Journal.

The changes in Vacaville will be the most dramatic, according to the article. Approximately half of the campus will be devoted to outpatient and other services that no longer occur within a hospital setting.
