Baptist Health has big plans for Broward and Palm Beach counties. What to know
Baptist Health has begun to transform the healthcare landscape of western Broward County with the official groundbreaking of its Sunrise hospital.
The $500 million hospital marks a significant expansion into Broward County for the not-for-profit organization, which has spent over a decade building its outpatient presence. The new seven-story Sunrise hospital bordering the Sawgrass Expressway also represents just one component of Baptist Health’s aggressive growth strategy into Broward and Palm Beach counties. In Broward, construction is already underway on a large new medical center in Pembroke Pines that will include an emergency room, specialty physicians’ offices, and an outpatient surgery center. Baptist’s plans in Palm Beach County include continuing to expand by adding to its existing hospitals, building a new proton therapy center for cancer patients at Boca Regional Hospital, expanding outpatient services in Wellington, and adding beds at its Bethesda West hospital.
Building on a foundation laid in Miami-Dade over 60 years ago, Baptist Health South Florida sees significant expansion potential in the booming markets to the north.
