Clearwater, Fla.-based BayCare Health System broke ground this week on its $246 million hospital in Wesley Chapel, Fla.
BayCare Hospital Wesley Chapel will span 318,000 square feet and house 86 beds, an intensive care unit and an emergency department. It will also offer physical rehabilitation and imaging and lab services.
"While 2020 has been an unprecedented year for health care that has called for tough decisions and creative solutions, we are grateful to celebrate the long-term goals that brought us to this moment," said Eric Obeck, BayCare's board chair. "I'm proud to be part of an organization that keeps setting the pace, even as we react to the coronavirus's impact on our daily business."
The new hospital is slated to open in 2023.
