Stuart, Fla.-based Martin Health System announced the ground breaking of its more than $110 million new hospital 14 years after it first sought approval for construction.
The Tradition Medical Center will encompass 201,184 square feet with 90 patient beds and space to expand to approximately 300 beds. The system is also planning to construct a medical office building adjacent to the new hospital, which is expected to open in early 2014.
Martin Health System first sought a certificate of need to build a hospital in 1998 and continued filing applications over eight years. In June 2007, the system received preliminary approval, which was challenged but upheld in a court of appeals in October 2010.
