History

2010s - 2020s

City Medical Center was one of Night City's public hospitals during the 2010s.

By 2020, the Night City Medical Center was considered one of the most modern hospitals on the West Coast, as such the prices were very high. The majority of its patients were in need of expensive treatments that required extensive stays. At 6,000 eurodollars per day for one of the few non-private rooms, only the richest could afford to stay here. The private rooms at the top of the building were truly comparable to luxury suites at almost any hotel in Night City. Hence, most clients chose outpatient status. On top of that, some overflow clientele from the Crisis Medical Center was redirected here, as well as any critical cases in which insurance covered the stay. The building also included AV landing pads. Around this time, Rudy Hamilton worked at the hospital as the pharmacy's stock handler.

2030s - 2040s

The City Medical Center survived the Fourth Corporate War and the fires that swept over Old Downtown, but during the Time of the Red it suffered from lower-level flooding and regular disruption of services such as water, power, and communications. The remaining hospitals in the city were also the last opportunity for major surgery and the ability to handle the periodic plague outbreaks that were common in the period following the Night City Holocaust. Due to the overflow in the main medical centers, many people shifted to use ripperdoc clinics instead.

In the 2040s, the City Medical Center was a large research hospital with multiple corporate ties. Aside from offering medical care to the citizens, the building was also known for offering — for the right price — therapy and biosculpting. The hospital complex housed some of the best medical staff and technology in Night City.
