The vacant property owned by the Broward County School District at the corner of University Drive and Trails End in Parkland is likely to become a Medical Facility with an educational component for local students.

The Broward County School Board will be voting on the topic at a meeting on January 23. The proposed plan would have Broward Schools enter into negotiations with Broward Health about selling the vacant land, which is just over 10 acres, for an “educational purpose.”

If the motion is approved on January 23, 2024, Superintendent Licata would immediately enter into negotiations with Broward Health.

According to a release from BCPS, the “ultimate concept includes a medical facility for the area that will provide opportunities for Broward County School students in the areas of medical sciences, nursing, and other related fields. The opportunities are endless for internships, career days, volunteer service hours, to name just a few of the benefits.”

The Board Meeting on January 23 will be a key component to the process.

“Engaging in community conversations and with the City of Parkland regarding selling this piece of land is crucial,” said Broward School Board Chair and Parkland resident Lori Alhadeff. “Ahering to policy 7002-B on real estate acquisition and disposal and Policy 7000 will ensure transparency and compliance throughout the process.”

UF Health Continues Geographic Expansion With Acquisition Of Flagler Health+

uf health flagler hospital_photo credit florida trend 760x320

UF Health ushered in a big change to Northeast Florida health care when it completed its acquisition of Flagler Health+ in early September.

Flagler Health+ operated Flagler Hospital, a 335-bed facility in St. Augustine, as well as dozens of other smaller offices in or around Northeast Florida.

Since the acquisition, Flagler Hospital is now known as UF Health Flagler Hospital, and the overall system is called UF Health St. Johns.

UF Health St. Johns includes more than 1,900 employees, UF Health Flagler Hospital and nearly 30 care sites. It focuses on health care in Flagler, St. Johns, Putnam, Clay and Duval counties. Flagler Health+ has been in the community for 130 years.

In a video about the merger, David R. Nelson, senior vice president for health affairs at UF and UF Health president, says that UF Health offers additional financial and human resources, intellectual capital and innovation to the former Flagler health care system. Residents of the area and providers also will have expanded access to new clinical trials, and providers will have access to additional training programs, he adds.

Another addition for UF Health St. Johns will be a new technology strategy that will include integration of an electronic health record system across the health network and new clinical equipment, Nelson says.

When choosing a potential acquisition partner, leaders from Flagler Health+ aimed to find an organization that focused on quality enhancement, community-focused service lines such as behavioral health and women’s health, and high-quality health care services to underserved populations, among other factors.

Acquiring Flagler Health+ is part of UF Health’s expansion, which now includes 11 hospitals. Other recent acquisitions include UF Health The Villages (formerly The Villages Regional Hospital) and UF Health Leesburg Hospital (formerly Leesburg Regional Medical Center) in 2020.

Bayfront Health Breaks Ground On Major Campus Expansion In Downtown St. Pete’s Innovation District

Bayfront Health St. Petersburg Innovation District 760x320

Bayfront Health St. Petersburg has begun construction on a major expansion of its downtown campus that will further cement the hospital as a prominent anchor of the Innovation District.

When Orlando Health purchased Bayfront Hospital St. Petersburg in 2020, it pledged to revive the 480-bed hospital after years of financial turmoil under its former owner. Orlando Health’s promise included not only strengthening the hospital’s charity care programs but to also restore Bayfront as a premier healthcare facility in St. Petersburg in both patient care and facilities provided.

Bayfront Health is the only state-accredited Level II Adult Trauma Center in Pinellas County and is nationally accredited as a Comprehensive Stroke Center. It is also the oldest hospital in St. Petersburg and began in 1910 as Good Samaritan Hospital.

In late 2022, Orlando Health announced the first major facilities expansion of Bayfront since its takeover with the announcement of Institute Square, a new medical complex planned immediately north the hospital.

“Bayfront Health – Institute Square ushers in a new era for our hospital and emphasizes Orlando Health’s commitment to providing advanced healthcare throughout our community,” said John Moore, Senior Vice President for Orlando Health and President of Bayfront Health.

“Institute Square will bring world-class care to the Tampa Bay region and beyond through partnerships with the Florida Cancer Specialists & Research Institute, Florida Orthopaedic Institute, All Florida Orthopaedic Associates, and Women’s Care.”

Institute Square will be located immediately north of the hospital on the superblock bound by 5th Avenue South to the north, 6th Avenue South to the south, 7th Street South to the east, and 8th Street South to the west.

The medical complex will consist of three buildings: the Bayfront Health Medical Pavilion, Bayfront Health Women’s Pavilion, and a multi-level parking deck that will include an imaging center.

The Bayfront Health Medical Pavilion will be a four-story 120,000 square foot medical office building that will offer world-class care through partnerships with the Florida Cancer Specialists and Research Institute, and All Florida Orthopaedic Associates.

Cancer care at the new facility will be provided by multiple oncology specialists and physicians offering care in urogynecology, colorectal, thoracic, lung, head and neck, breast, and skin cancer treatments.

Just west of the Bayfront Health Medical Pavilion will be the Bayfront Health Women’s Pavilion, a three-story, 60,000 square foot building that will offer comprehensive women’s care. The facility will include care in obstetrics, gynecology, and women’s health through all phases of life, from pre-teen to post-menopausal years. Bayfront is partnering with Women’s Care, a Tampa-based specialty women’s health physician group, on the facility.

Institute Square will also include a 9,500 square foot imaging center that will be located on the ground floor of a multi-level parking deck. The imaging center will include outpatient imaging and diagnostic laboratory services.

Each building at Institute Square will include separate patient drop off areas and covered walkways.

Construction on Institute Square is underway and existing buildings on the site were previously demolished. Current construction activities include relocating utilities and doing deep foundation work by placing more than 200 stone columns to support the new buildings. A ground crane is onsite to assist in the foundation work.

“We are excited for the St. Petersburg community to follow the construction of Institute Square with us on Bayfront Health’s main downtown campus,” said Matt Taylor, Senior Vice President of Asset Strategy for Orlando Health.

“Orlando Health is pleased to expand its presence and further invest in serving the community’s health and wellness needs through the new Women’s Pavilion, Medical Pavilion, Imaging Center, and parking garage now underway at Institute Square,” added Taylor.

Turner Construction Company is the general contractor for Institute Square.

Bayfront Health St. Petersburg expects to open Institute Square in 2025.
