Baptist Health will soon break ground on a new emergency room and medical office complex in Nassau County’s growing Yulee community.

The Baptist Nassau Crossing Medical Campus will include emergency medical services for adults and children as well as additional health care services in central and western Nassau County.

And as plans proceed to break ground on the new medical campus just east of Interstate 95 on State Road 200, construction is already underway on Baptist Primary Care Beachwalk on County Road 210 West in Northwest St. Johns County, according to the Florida Times-Union, a WJCT News partner.

Yulee’s 23,879-square-foot emergency center will have two emergency centers — Baptist Emergency Center for adults and Wolfson Children’s Emergency Center for patients up to 17. The new emergency room will offer easier access to specialized pediatric care at Wolfson Children’s Hospital for Nassau County.

“For nearly 30 years, Baptist Health has been serving the Nassau community,” Baptist Medical Center Nassau hospital president Ed Hubel said. “It’s been incredible to see the growth, and we appreciate residents’ trust in us to help make the community an even healthier place to live!”

Baptist’s Yulee emergency facility will have an adjoining imaging center for X-rays, ultrasounds, CT scans, mammography and bone density screenings. And the building is designed for future expansion, Baptist said.

Behind the ER will be a 32,094-square-foot medical office building for Baptist Primary Care and Baptist Behavioral Health, with the potential to add other specialty services.

The $38 million facility is scheduled to open in early 2024.

Baptist Health’s new 12,000-square-foot Beachwalk facility in Northwest St. Johns County is set to open in late August or early September.

“We understand how important it is for families to have their primary health care services close to home,” Baptist Health president and CEO Michael Mayo told the Times-Union. “You will see this play out across the region as we continue our strong commitment to community-based primary care, building new clinics and expanding existing clinics throughout northeast Florida.”

The medical office and outpatient center will have 21 exam rooms, staffed by physicians and medical staff currently at the Baptist Primary Care St. Johns Forest office.

Orlando Health is nearly finished with its $300 million, 375,000-square-foot complex which includes a medical office pavilion and 75-bed orthopedic hospital. The medical office and surgical facility will open March 27, while the hospital is set to open August 1.

Orlando Health Neuroscience Institute

The system plans to construct a three-story, 45,000-square-foot medical office building at 86 W. Underwood St. Demolition at the site started in January and the institute is expected to open in late 2023.

Orlando Health Digestive Health Institute

The second phase of construction will add up to 48,475 new square feet to the building at 22 W. Underwood St. That work is expected to be completed this summer, and the institute already has started serving patients.

Miami Jewish Health and McDowell Housing Partners broke ground on a senior living and health care facility in Pembroke Pines after obtaining $91 million in construction loans.

The expansion will consist of 410 senior living units, with 390 of them affordable housing and 20 of them market-rate units, plus a 15,000-square-foot medical facility, said Christopher Shear, chief operating officer of MHP.
