Medical Office Planned at 324 Datura Street in West Palm Beach 760x320

Morning Calm Management may demolish an office building in downtown West Palm Beach in order to construct a larger medical office building.

MCM 324 Datura LLC, managed by Mukang Cho of Boca Raton-based Morning Calm Management, filed a site plan for the 0.65-acre property at 324 Datura St. It currently has a 68,811-square-foot office building constructed in 1950.

In 2021, the building was purchased by the office investment business for $10.65 million.

The plan calls for MCM to construct a seven-story, 181,492-square-foot structure with 201 parking spaces and 76,362 square feet of medical office space. Ground floor primary care would occupy 6,800 square feet, while three parking levels and four stories of medical office space, with an average floor area of 18,000 square feet, would be included. Tenant amenity area would also be located on the rooftop.

Memorial Healthcare System on Wednesday unveiled its $125 million free-standing cancer center stocked with the newest technology and designed for collaboration among specialists.

Whether a patient needs chemotherapy, radiation, a wig-fitting or simply just wants to buy products that are chemical-free they can do that all within an expansive four-story building in Pembroke Pines. The building at Flamingo Road and Pines Boulevard is created with big windows to optimize sunlight, and most treatment rooms face a rooftop garden or the nearby CB Smith Park..

The South Broward health system bought the former site of Toys R Us in 2018 to create the new Memorial Cancer Institute, which will bring outpatient cancer services housed in various buildings at Memorial Hospital West into a single location.

Until now, the radiation department at Memorial West had to alternate the days it offered radiotherapy or procedures with the Cyber Knife used to treat prostate cancer and brain tumors. Now, with more space in the new building, both will operate at the same time.

The building will open for its first patients in January. Memorial Cancer Institute will continue to operate satellite offices at Memorial Regional in Hollywood, Hallandale Beach and Miramar.

Lakeland Regional Health's Kathleen Road Facility 760x320

The doors opened and doctors started seeing patients Monday at Lakeland Regional Health’s newest location: a three-story, $65 million facility on 20.6 acres at Kathleen Road and Interstate Highway 4.

The new 76,000-square-foot center has 52 state-of-the-art patient exam rooms and four procedure rooms. It offers primary care, family medicine, lab services and specialty care services in neurology, pulmonology, urology, general surgery and trauma, infectious disease and endocrinology. It also houses LRH’s new graduate medical education program.

The Kathleen Road campus is part of the hospital board’s plans to expand services and service areas, increase the number of physicians on staff and provide specialized care for which people have had to leave the county in the past.

An urgent care center is scheduled to open in the next few months for things like minor injuries, infections and viruses. A freestanding emergency department is also planned, which will treat things like broken bones and more acute illnesses. For issues needing surgery, the main hospital will be a quick ambulance ride away.

Walmart Health Inks Partnership With Orlando Health

walmart-health 760x320

Walmart Health now has a patient referral partnership with Orlando Heath.

The health care concept from the Bentonville, Arkansas-based retailer joined with the nonprofit health care system on a care coordination agreement in the state. The work will allow the retailer and Orlando Health to coordinate patient care in Florida with a goal of improving patient outcomes during the transfer of care between providers, such as if a Walmart Health clinic patient needs medical services at a hospital or to see a specialist.

“By collaborating with Walmart Health and focusing on care coordination in the shared patient populations, we’ll be better positioned to more quickly identify patient needs,” Cary D’Ortona, senior vice president of Orlando Health and president of Orlando Health Medical Group, said in a prepared statement.

Retail health consultant James A. Gardner told Orlando Business Journal that Walmart Health offers a lot of general care, but there are some services it does not offer at its clinics which a system like Orlando Health does. That can be beneficial because the partnership can direct patients who need specialty services to the hospital.

Similarly, Ambetter from Sunshine Health is also now a preferred provider for Walmart Health in Orange, Osceola, Seminole, Clay, Duval, Hillsborough and Pasco counties. Walmart has over 386 store locations in Florida with 115,866 staff members in the state.
