This groundbreaking ceremony marks a significant milestone in our ongoing commitment to provide high quality healthcare services to our community. The new patient tower will enhance our capacity to serve residents of Lakewood Ranch and surrounding areas by increasing the total number of licensed beds from 120 to 180. A second future construction phase will add 60 more beds bringing the total licensed beds to 240 – doubling the current bed capacity. This new tower will incorporate the latest advancements in medical technology and patient-centered design.

Key Features of the New Patient Tower:

  1. Expanded Capacity: With 60 additional beds (and the opportunity to add another 60 beds later), we will be better equipped to meet the growing healthcare needs of our community.
  2. Innovative Medical Technology: The new tower will be equipped with the latest medical technologies to ensure the delivery of high-quality care for our patients.
  3. Comfort and Healing: Patient-centric design principles will be implemented to create a soothing and healing environment for our patients and their families.
  4. Specialized Care Units: The tower will house specialized units to address specific medical needs, further elevating our ability to provide comprehensive healthcare services.
