New $164 Million AdventHealth Location Expected to Open Next Spring To Meet Needs Of Palm Coast And Flagler County

AdventHealth‘s new hospital on Palm Coast Parkway will open next spring, with 80 beds, according to AdventHealth staff. The hospital has the capacity to later expand to 100 beds.

The four-story building under construction on Palm Coast Parkway between Bridgehaven Drive and AdventHealth Way will cover approximately 158,000 square feet, with an emergency department, imaging services, a heart catheteriztion lab, five operating suites, critical care, endoscopy services and an outpatient laboratory.

A 30,000-square-foot medical office building will be constructed to the west of the hospital building and is expected to open around the same time as the hospital.

Together, they’ll cost an estimated $164 million, said AdventHealth Program Director David Gordon.

The new hospital is about 8 miles north of AdventHealth’s current location on State Road 100.

“The community is growing, and we want to make sure that we can meet the needs of the growing community,” Gordon said. “We went a little further north so we can continue to meet the needs of Palm Coast and Flagler County.”

Although the new hospital will ultimately have a similar number of beds as the current one, which has 99, the new location will have a smaller footprint.

“It’s a very efficient facility,” Gordon said. 

AdventHealth expects the new hospital to generate about 400 jobs when it opens, with an average wage of about $67,000.

The first floor will have emergency services, imaging, cardiology and a cath lab, Gordon said.

Framing has just started inside the building in the area that will become the imaging lab, said building superintendent Casey Mabe, of general contractor Robins & Morton.

The medical office building will have AdventHealth Medical Group services including orthopedic services, surgical services, pulmonology, and an outpatient rehabilitation center.

“It’s a full fledged typical hospital, also with support services,” Gordon said. 

There will also be a helipad, near AdventHealth Way, said Mabe.

The hospital was designed by architecture firm HuntonBrady.

AdventHealth Plans To Turn Holly Land Site Into Hospital Medical Office

HolyLand-Experience 760x320

AdventHealth has submitted plans showing that it intends to build medical offices and a hospital on the former Holy Land Experience site in Orlando, according to a report in GrowthSpotter.

According to a recently submitted application to Orlando’s Municipal Planning Board, the health system won’t be demolishing the existing three-story auditorium nor the existing Holy Land building directly across yet.

Instead, AdventHealth intends to build around the structures at 4655 and 4615 Vineland Road, and embark on a two-phase development plan, called AdventHealth Millenia, that involves building a four-story, 80,000 square foot medical office building (Phase 1) and a five-story, 261,500-square-foot hospital (Phase 2).

Included in plans for the first phase are a helipad, which will require a Conditional Use Permit, and associated surface parking.

The first floor of the medical office building will feature a 20,000-square-foot of Emergency Room.

The second floor will have 20,000 square feet of medical office space and the third and fourth floors will feature 19,000 square feet each consisting of either medical office uses or ambulatory surgical centers.

Phase 1 will also include building the master infrastructure to serve future phases of the hospital. According to the plans, AdventHealth is still considering demolishing the current Holy Land Experience structures for future phases.

Kimley-Horn is the civil engineer assigned to the project. The proposed plans are set to go before Orlando’s Municipal Planning Board on Feb. 15.

Earlier this summer, the hospital system paid $32 million for the 14.2-acre site on the northeast corner of Vineland Road and Conroy Road.

The Christian theme park’s parent company, Trinity Broadcasting Network, had struggled to keep the business afloat. Shortly before the pandemic struck, Holy Land Experience ended all of its stage shows and laid off much of its workforce.

AdventHealth is one of the largest faith-based health systems in Florida. Its Central Florida division has more than 20 hospitals and ERs across seven counties.

Flagler Health+ Buys Property For New Hospital In Palm Coast Off US 1, Palm Coast Parkway

Flagler Health+ 70 Acres In Palm Coast_Google Maps 760x320

Flagler Health+ purchased 70 acres of property in Palm Coast with plans to build a comprehensive health complex, including a hospital, on the west side of the U.S. 1 and Palm Coast Parkway intersection, officials announced.

“The scope and timing of the hospital campus project is still in development,” said hospital spokeswoman Gina Mangus in an emailed statement. “We are excited to bring locally based hospital care and more services to the region that truly serve the unique needs of this very special community.”

The hospital system paid more than $2.2 million for the property, according to Flagler County Chairman Joe Mullins.

This is the second new hospital announced in Flagler County this year. In January, AdventHealth, which operates the only operational hospital in the county, announced plans to construct a $145-million, 100-bed hospital off Palm Coast Parkway near Bridgehaven Drive. The hospital system broke ground in September and the facility is expected to open in the spring of 2023.

Palm Coast Mayor David Alfin said the city needs more health-care services.

“This will be another defining moment in the history of the City of Palm Coast as we welcome a second health-care service provider network into the city,” Alfin said Monday. “The demographic obviously supports health care and we look forward to the new arrival to broaden the variety of services and increase the service level of care to residents.”

Flagler Health+, which also operates Flagler Hospital in St. Johns County, did not provide details regarding cost, timeframe or a name for the new hospital.

“To ensure the community’s needs are being met, our strategy team conducted a market study which demonstrates that there is a need for additional outpatient care, acute care services and inpatient beds,” Mangus said in her statement. “With that, we are currently in discussions with UF Health regarding a collaborative approach to best achieve this.”

Mullins hopes the hospital will be up and running within the next year.

“They still need to go through planning and zoning,” he said.

But according to Mullins, Flagler Health+ will start collaborating with the county as early as next month with the addition of behavioral health services.

Flagler County’s Medical Needs

The county has been in talks with Flagler Health+ for the past two years, according to Mullins.

“We sat down with them a few years ago and have been working with them the last two years looking at locations,” Mullins said. “We’re very excited. They are committed to being a very strong community partner and have started working with us on mental health needs.”

The county, along with the cities of Palm Coast and Bunnell, have been working together to try and address the community’s medical needs, according to Mullins. Their hope is to turn Flagler County into a medical hub.

“This will bring high-paying jobs and services that the whole region can use, not just our county,” Mullins said. “They are recession-proof jobs. You just see an industry that is needed all the time.”

But for the moment, the most urgent needs are mental health services, labor and delivery, and other trauma-related services, according to Mullins.

“We need these services,” he said. “We have one of the top suicide rates in the state of Florida, no mental health services, zero labor and delivery and we’ve seen so many people come into the area that need them.”

Right now, AdventHealth Palm Coast is the only hospital in the county, and while it has stepped up to help care for the elderly in Flagler County, it has not been able to meet the additional needs for the younger population, according to Mullins.

Anyone needing labor and delivery or trauma services must travel to Volusia County to either Halifax Health or AdventHealth Daytona Beach or to Flagler Hospital in St. Johns County.

“As we step up as a community, these services are needed,” he said. “Flagler County is not gonna sit back and wait any longer for these things to happen. We’re going to get ahead of it.”

Adding another hospital will expand care options for residents across not just Palm Coast but the county as well.

“I think the market supports the competing health-care networks to the benefit of our residents,” Alfin said. “I believe there are enough patients and people who will use the hospital here to support what will now be three campuses. All of our residents in the City of Palm Coast will be in close proximity to all of the health-care services that they demand.”

Other Expansions By Flagler Health+

Flagler Health+ recently reached a clinical agreement with UF Health that includes expanding graduate medical education programs and an array of clinical services across Northeast Florida.

This will include new primary care sites in St. Johns and Flagler counties. Details have not yet been released as they are still under discussion, according to a hospital system press release.

Civil engineering work is currently underway on 7 acres that Flagler Health+ owns at the southwest corner of Matanzas Woods Parkway and Belle Terre Parkway where the it will build a signature health village, according to the release. The Palm Coast health village will incorporate family practice, behavioral health services, orthopedics, specialty care, imaging and laboratory services.

Flagler Health+ has already expanded its footprint in Flagler County with the addition of an orthopedics practice in the Palm Coast Town Center, a primary care office on Old Kings Road, and a virtual walk-in clinic located inside Publix.

In February, Care Connect+ also opened an office inside Flagler Health+ Specialty Care at 50 Cypress Point Parkway to better serve and coordinate care.

Care Connect+ awarded four Innovators Micro Grants to Flagler County nonprofit organizations to support programs for people experiencing homelessness, hunger, behavioral health issues, financial instability, or lack of access to transportation, medication or health care in Flagler County, according to the release.
