The 300,000-square-foot hospital will include an ICU and 100 beds, in today's bite-sized hospital and health industry news from California, Colorado, and Florida.

• California: HHS' Office for Civil Rights (OCR) on Friday issued a notice of violation threatening to withhold federal funding from California over the state's requirement that private health insurers cover abortion care. OCR said the requirement violates federal law and gave California 30 days to stop enforcing the requirement, but the agency didn't state which funds HHS would withhold from California for not complying or when OCR would take action. Trump administration officials said the announcement should serve as a warning to other states with similar requirements. California Attorney General Xavier Becerra (D) in a tweet posted Friday wrote that the state will "fight" OCR's actions "by any means necessary" (Wan/Abutaleb, Washington Post, 1/24; Becerra tweet, 1/24).
