The School District of Palm Beach County selected leading workplace wellness provider, CareATC Inc., to launch the district’s first-ever medical clinic now open for school district employees and their dependents who have a district medical plan.

Services at the clinic include full service primary care, free preventative treatment, vaccinations, lab work and more.

“We believe this will make it easier for employees and their families to get the care they need at a lower price,” says Superintendent Dr. Donald Fennoy. “The clinic is a great asset and another step forward as we continue to support wellness through the COVID-19 pandemic.”

The School District of Palm Beach County is the tenth largest in the nation and the fifth largest in the State of Florida serving more than 197,000 students. As the largest employer in Palm Beach County, the School District has 22,600 employees, including more than 12,900 teachers.

“During these unprecedented times, innovative approaches to care are needed now more than ever,” says Greg Bellomy, CareATC Chief Executive Officer. “While our model of care caters to an array of industries and sectors, we believe that public entities, whose roles are essential for our society, need the unique capabilities that CareATC can bring to their employees and beneficiaries. We are proud and honored to have the School District of Palm Beach Country join our growing network of employer-sponsored primary care clinics in Southeast Florida.”

The clinic is located in Building E at district headquarters located at 3300 Forest Hill Boulevard in West Palm Beach.

Wildwood Commissioners Clear Way For $110-Million Development, Including 100,000 SF Of Medical Office Space

blount wildwood project

Wildwood commissioners Monday cleared the way for a massive $110-million development northwest of Powell Road and County Road 44A behind the Wildwood Community Center.

Commissioners gave final approval to a comprehensive plan amendment for the project after it was reviewed by state officials because it is a development of regional impact. They also approved a zoning change to central mixed use for the 36-acre property recently annexed to Wildwood.

Development director Melanie Peavy said the city is negotiating an agreement with Blount Development Group that spells out the responsibilities of the company and the city.

Built on land once occupied by a Wildwood ranch, the project is expected to include at least 320 one- to three-bedroom, non-age-restricted apartments, 150 senior independent living apartments and 100,000 square feet of medical office space.

With the city’s legal approval completed, construction of the first phase could begin this spring or early summer, according to developer Rick Blount, a resident of the Village of Bridgeport at Lake Sumter.

The property includes wetlands, surface waters and flood zones and the developer is required to preserve these areas or allow for mitigation by working with the Southwest Florida Water Management District. Environmental resource permits may be needed.

The project will add 8,260 daily trips to area roads, according to a traffic analysis that also recommends adding westbound and eastbound turn lanes on CR 44A.

A lifelong resident of Lake and Sumter counties, Blount’s past projects include HarborChase assisted living center north of Powell Road.

Baptist Health South Florida and the Altman Cos. are teaming up for a multifamily and medical development in Kendall.

The nonprofit health care organization filed a pre-application with county officials for Altis Baptist Kendall. It would be developed on the 14.5-acre site at 9501 S.W. 137th Ave., at the northeast corner of Southwest 96th Street. It’s about eight blocks south of Kendall Drive, near the Calusa neighborhood.

Boca Raton-based Altman Cos. would build the residential portion of the project, while Baptist Health would build a 57,100-square-foot medical office building with 190 parking spaces. The three-story building would include a free-standing emergency department, which would allow Baptist Health to treat emergency patients who don’t require an overnight hospital stay.

Cape Coral Slated To Land Victory Park Hotel, Medical Office, Warehouse Space Project

victory park cape coral

Plans are in the works for Cape Coral to get a massive, 140-acre commercial development project called Victory Park.

Blue Waters Development Group LLC announced the plans last week to anchor the project with a 125-room Wyndham Garden hotel, commercial space and 110,000 square feet of warehouse and medical office space at 2313 NE 24th Ave.

The southeastern-most lot, sitting at the northwest corner of Diplomat Parkway and NE 24th Avenue, could become a beacon of construction activity sometime later this year. It is just next door to the Veterans Administration clinic.

“The VA medical center is bringing over 350,000 patients per year on a regular basis,” said Danny Aguirre, manager of Blue Waters Development, which was established in Cape Coral about two years ago. Aguirre said he previously developed projects on the east coast of Florida. This will be the group’s first project in Cape Coral.

“The army reserve base is doing reserve troop training on a monthly basis on the weekends,” Aguirre said of another draw to the hotel. “That is a driver that we felt competent in being able to service them by putting a quality hotel product there.”

Aguirre said he wasn’t sure on a timetable for breaking ground. He remained hopeful to do so by mid-summer if not sooner.

“With COVID going on, it just set the permitting process in a tailspin,” Aguirre said. “We really don’t know. With some of the workers working remotely, it’s going to be what it needs to be. I wish I could set a timeline to it. If we can get it taken care of by the second quarter or third quarter, we’d like to move forward in that direction.”

The hotel would be the first phase of what could become a major development, as the land stretches north to where Kismet Parkway becomes Littleton Road at NE 24th Avenue. The property continues east to Corbett Road.

The northernmost lot sold for $2.3 million in July 2019, purchased by Alex Diaz Trust according to Lee County property records.

The same trust went on to purchase the southern two parcels for $5 million and $3.6 million in September 2019, records show.

Real estate broker Steve Komondorea of Real America Realty is handling pre-leasing for the office and warehouse space.

The new development will feed off the V.A. clinic and form a synergy with it, he said.

“It has the second-highest volume of veteran appointments in the state of Florida,” Komondorea said. “We have had conversations with the people who are directing the V.A. Clinic. We wanted to be a compliment to them. So veterans who come with family members, they will have a place to put up their heels. That was one of the main inspirations to do this at that location.”

Blue Waters is marketing the development in preparing for groundbreaking.

“We want medical professionals to know that we have this medical facility coming up,” said Komondorea, who hopes medical professionals will recognize that area could fulfill a need.

“There’s some things the VA does, and there’s some things the VA doesn’t,” he said. “We’d like to be able to generate interest to compliment what they do. We’ll be working real hard to develop a quality product.”
