DOCS Surgical Hospital, which broke ground in late 2023 at 6000 S. San Vicente Boulevard, consist of a five-story building which will feature four operating theaters and an imaging center. Plans also call for medical offices, a pharmacy, ground-floor commercial space, and a 40-car garage.

Mesa Design Architects is designing the building, which is to be clad in concrete, terra cotta, and glass. At its rooftop, a "healing garden" is to be provided for use by patients and visitors. 

At the time of its groundbreaking, completion of the hospital was on track to occur in Spring 2026.
