Aurora Santa Rosa Hospital, a freestanding acute psychiatric hospital in Santa Rosa, is growing in a health care segment that historically has been shrinking.

Aurora, which currently has 95 licensed beds, is adding another 49. And construction is underway on a building expansion that will double the size of Aurora’s outpatient program, adding 3,500 square feet.

The hospital will begin filling the additional 49 beds in January, according to CEO Susan Rose. Even with the expansion, the hospital still will be short 100 beds based on need, she added.

Aurora is one of just 15 freestanding acute psychiatric hospitals (APH) in the state, and one of two in the North Bay — the other is Adventist Health Vallejo in Solano County, according to the California Hospital Association. In addition, of the state’s 58 counties, there are 24 with no inpatient psychiatric services at all.
