The city issued a permit Aug. 11 for the Village Medical build-out at Walgreens at 3505 University Blvd. W. in the Lakewood area.

Horizon Retail Construction of Sturtevant, Wisconsin is the contractor for the $625,000 project. Horizon will build-out a 3,196-square-foot Village Medical clinic within the Walgreens, which will continue to use the remaining 10,638 square feet of the store for its pharmacy and retail sales.

It is one of 10 Village Medical at Walgreens clinics opened or planned in Duval County.

As with the others, the project will add the clinic with eight exam rooms.

Walgreens and VillageMD opened the first Village Medical at Walgreens primary care practice in the Jacksonville area Feb. 15 at 105 Julington Plaza Drive in St. Johns County.

The planned and improved renovation costs so far top $6.3 million in Duval.

In addition to the Lakewood area, they are in:

• Love Grove/Sans Souci at 6006 Beach Blvd.

• Mandarin at 12145 San Jose Blvd.

• South Jacksonville at 8309 Southside Blvd.

• North Jacksonville at 866 Dunn Ave.

• Arlington at 7224 Merrill Road.

• San Pablo at 14430 Beach Blvd.

• Northwest Jacksonville at 5340 Soutel Drive.

• Two Westside stores at 7546 103rd St. and 654 Cassat Ave.

Village Medical at Walgreens offers primary care along with pharmacy services.

The Jacksonville clinics are part of Walgreens’ effort to open 600 or more Village Medical centers by 2025 and another 400 by 2027.

Walgreens said the clinics are ideal for patients with chronic conditions who need multiple daily prescriptions. It said the clinics accept a wide range of health insurance options and offer in-person and virtual appointments.

Terra, HCA Healthcare Buy Pembroke Pines Development Sites

terra-pines-city-center-aerial 760x320

Miami-based Terra and Nashville-based hospital giant HCA Healthcare acquired development sites in the Pines City Center mixed-use project in Pembroke Pines.

This was the final piece of a 66-acre property the city purchased and facilitated development on over nearly a decade. With this deal, the last piece of land under contract to private developers at Pines City Center has been sold, while the city retains land for its municipal uses.

The city sold 9.15 acres at the southwest corner of Pines Boulevard and Palm Avenue for $13 million to Pines and Palm Ave 2022 LLC, an affiliate of Terra. The site previously housed Pembroke Pines’ former City Hall, which was demolished.

The Terra affiliate then flipped 6.5 acres of that site to Davie Medical Center LLC, an affiliate of HCA, for $6.1 million. Davie Medical Center is the official name of HCA Florida University Hospital, which opened on the Davie campus of Nova Southeastern University in 2021.

Officials with HCA couldn’t be reached for comment regarding their plans for the Pembroke Pines site. The company does not have a hospital in the city.

Pembroke Pines granted plat approval for 120,000 square feet of medical office space on the property that was subsequently acquired by the HCA affiliate. A site plan has yet to be submitted.

For the 3.15-acre site retained by Terra, the city granted approval for 120 to 150 units of senior housing. Terra said it is in the planning stages for that parcel and has no renderings to share yet.

Sarasota Memorial Hospital To Move Forward With North Port Expansion

Sarasota Memorial Hospital 760x320

Sarasota Memorial Hospital (SMH) announced plans to move forward with the construction of a new hospital in North Port, FL.

The facility will be constructed on a 32-acre undeveloped site first bought in 2007. With the land purchase, the Sarasota County Public Hospital Board pledged to invest in the medical infrastructure needed to support a hospital in North Port.

The size, cost, and construction schedule for the hospital are still being finalized. Initially, SMH-North Port will open with approximately 100 beds, but will be constructed to have the capacity to more than double in size to meet local healthcare needs.

SMH-North Port plans to offer a comprehensive range of acute medical, surgical and specialty care, outpatient programs and diagnostic services, as well as space for educational and support programs.

The facility will be built with hurricane-proof materials and a back-up energy center with connection to the electronic medical records, clinical systems and specialized support of Sarasota Memorial Health Care System.

“Building a hospital in North Port has been part of our strategic plan and a longstanding goal of city and hospital leaders for many years,” said Sarasota Memorial Health Care System President & CEO David Verinder. “As we had hoped, the new Venice hospital is expanding and bringing our extensive physician base further south, which provides the support and specialty services we need to move forward with a full-service hospital in North Port.”

SMH-North Port will be the health system’s third acute-care hospital and the first hospital for the city of North Port. With a growing population of 80,000 residents, North Port is now the largest city both in land mass and population in Sarasota County, and one of the fastest-growing cities in the nation.

“The want and need for a first-class medical facility in the North Port community is palpable, and has been for many years,” City Manager Jerome Fletcher said. ”This meeting was just the beginning of the discussion, and the City looks forward to hearing more about how we can support the plans and the economic development opportunities a new hospital will bring to North Port.”

SMH was recently awarded a 5-star rating for overall quality from the federal government. The 5-star quality rating marks SMH as the only hospital in Florida, and one of only 33 in the nation, to repeatedly earn the distinction, according to the hospital.

Of the 4,500-plus hospitals that were evaluated, fewer than 14 percent of received 5 stars in the CMS ratings. In Florida, only 15 hospitals achieved the 5-star designation in 2022.

AdventHeatlth Changes Project Slated For Former Holy Land Experience Site In Orlando

HolyLand-Experience 760x320

AdventHealth has adjusted its plans for the former Holy Land Experience site it bought last year in Orlando.

The Altamonte Springs-based health system — which owns some of the largest hospitals in Orlando — filed paperwork with the city of Orlando to change the proposed project at 4655 and 4615 Vineland Road to a three-phase project.

The first phase would include a one-story, 24-bed, 19,600-square-foot, freestanding emergency department with a helipad.

New plans submitted to the city do not specify what the second or third phases would include, but they do mention the potential for a parking garage. The updated plans call for the demolition of all existing buildings on the site.

Prior plans had the project’s first phase include the emergency department along with a four-story, 90,450-square-foot medical office building, with the second phase including a five-story, 250,100-square-foot hospital.

“We continue to work through our planning and design process to determine how best to serve the health care needs of the Millenia area,” Kari Vargas, CEO of AdventHealth Winter Garden and the west Orange and south Lake market, told Orlando Business Journal.

AdventHealth bought the 14-acre site last summer for $32 million from Holy Land Experience Ministries Inc., an entity related to Tustin, California-based theme park operator and landowner Trinity Broadcasting Network.

Baptist Health Buys 18 Acres In Miami-Dade

kendall-town-center_760xx320

Baptist Health South Florida is set for an expansion after purchasing land next to West Kendall Baptist Hospital for $17.92 million.

The deal is part of the 70-acre West Kendall Town Center project, which was recently approved by Miami-Dade County officials.

Miami-based KTC SW 88 St LLC sold 17.9 acres on the east side of the hospital to the nonprofit health care provider. NAI Miami brokered the deal, as several of its executives are also co-owners of the seller.

The county recently approved the “health and wellness district” of Kendall Town Center that Baptist Health acquired for 215,000 square feet of medical offices, 70,000 square feet of education and 125 hotel rooms.

Located at the southwest corner of Southwest 88th Street and Southwest 158th Avenue, West Kendall Town Center was originally approved for a mostly commercial project, but the owners recently changed the plan to make it a mixed-use project. In addition to the health and wellness district, the site is approved for 576 apartments in the residential area, 491,000 square feet of commercial and another 224 apartments in the town center area, and eight outparcels along Kendall Drive.
