Local stakeholders are eager to see how the area’s newest medical project will impact the region.

Tallahassee Memorial Healthcare discussed its plans for the new FSU Health campus at Wednesday morning’s economic development alliance meeting.

“I tell people every day, over the next five to ten years, you’re not going to recognize this area. It’s not just Bay County, it’s really throughout the Panhandle area. A lot of it has to do with companies like Tallahassee Health looking in our community,” Bay County EDA President/CEO Becca Hardin said.

On Wednesday, Bay Economic Development Alliance investors got a progress report on the new FSU health medical office building and future hospital.

Tallahassee Memorial Healthcare partnered with FSU and the St. Joe company in 2021, realizing the venture would be a wise investment.

“We saw the growth of this area, we saw the need. We go back to our mission, our values, and for where we wanted to grow and for what we wanted to do while maintaining that mission and those values, we wanted to have a landscape that made sense. Really, when you look at Bay County and really the surrounding areas it made a lot of sense,” TMH Chief Health Operations Officer Andrew Starr said.

The 80,000-square-foot medical office building opened in July. Patients are already using primary and urgent care services.

The new 180-bed hospital will be more than 300,000 square feet and will create hundreds of jobs.

“Between the medical office building and the hospital, we will clearly have 500 net new jobs. We’re still working through the design, but it could be as much as a thousand,” Starr said.

 

“If you’re looking at a thousand new jobs coming into the area, you have to look at the economic impact of those jobs. People will be buying homes, people will be buying cars, kids will be in school, there’s more money in the bank. It’s just a tremendous economic ripple effect when you see that volume of new jobs coming to your community,” Hardin said.

Officials should break ground on the hospital in January and open in 2027.

Panama City Beach’s First Hospital Is Under Construction

St. Joe Company, Tallahassee Memorial Hospital, and Florida State University are partnering on a new hospital in Panama City Beach.

“The goal is pretty simple. It’s to bring in more convenient health care services to residents on the beach,” St. Joe Commercial Real Estate Senior Vice President Dan Valazquez said. “This campus would just provide another health care option for those residents that may not necessarily want to travel 15 or 20 miles for health care services.”

But it’s going to provide much more than just healthcare. Medical students from FSU’s medical school will be rotating into this facility to get practical experience.

“The hospital will also be home to a variety of educational and research programs,” Panama City Beach Mayor Mark Sheldon said. “In partnership with FSU, it provides an opportunity for residency programs and clinical rotations for FSU medical students.”

The hospital will help keep physicians in the community during a national shortage as well.

“We know that physicians tend to remain in the communities where they train,” Sheldon said. “This truly allows us to expand our health care foundation and provide more opportunities for those medical students who want to remain in Panama City Beach.”

Construction on this first medical facility began in January 2022.

“This first medical office building will offer an array of services, including primary care, urgent care, cardiology, orthopedics, and up to five ambulatory surgery centers,” Valazquez said. 

Work will continue on a 100-bed hospital and more facilities that will comprise an 87-acre medical campus.

This first medical facility should be complete and operational by the summer of 2024.

Ground Broken On New 87-Acre Florida Medical Complex With ASC

Site work has begun on a new 87-acre medical complex in Panama City Beach, Fla., that will include an ASC, facilities for orthopedic surgery and cardiology, a hospital, urgent care and primary care, according to an Aug. 29 report from the Panama City News Herald.

The center is being built through a partnership between Tallahassee (Fla.) Memorial Healthcare, Tallahassee-based Florida State University and St. Joe Company, a developer.

The hospital building was originally slated to open with 30 to 40 inpatient beds, before expanding to 100 down the line, but due to demand, the facility may need all 100 beds now, according to the report.

The medical office building on the currently-unnamed campus is expected to open sometime in 2024, with the hospital set to open in 2027.

“There’s a lot of great hospitals in this area, but [they] are a distance away,” Andrew Starr, chief health operations officer at Tallahassee Memorial Healthcare, told the Herald. “That [creates] a real opportunity [for this campus], and also a situation that needs to be bridged as you have more and more citizens moving into this immediate area and the surrounding areas. Having a healthcare infrastructure to further support the growth and population is not a want, it’s a need.”

With Latitude Margaritaville Watersound welcoming its first residents and a new medical campus coming just down the road, it seems the Highway 79 corridor is booming with developments.

The St. Joe Company is now working on a massive residential community just north of Philip Griffitts Senior Parkway.

From rubble to residential, St. Joe has broken ground on what will be the Ward Creek Community.

“It’s about four miles from the beach. It will be in close proximity to the new medical campus that we’re working on with Tallahassee Memorial Health Care and Florida State University,” Senior Vice President for Residential Real Estate Bridget Precise said.

Plans call for roughly 1,600 home sites including a mix of both single-family and townhouse.
