HCA Healthcare, Inc. (NYSE: HCA), one of the nation’s leading
healthcare providers, today announced plans to build three new
acute care hospitals in Florida to help meet the state’s growing
need for healthcare services.
The new hospitals include a 90-bed acute care facility in
Gainesville, a 60-bed hospital near The Villages and a 100-bed
acute care hospital in Fort Myers. Construction is expected to
begin next year.
HCA Healthcare currently has 47 hospitals in the state, where
its comprehensive network of care, which includes more than 400
affiliated sites, is known as HCA Florida Healthcare. The
facilities will complement HCA Florida Healthcare’s existing
presence in those rapidly growing communities.
“Florida continues to experience rapid population growth, and
the addition of these new hospitals will help HCA Florida
Healthcare meet the increasing need for acute care services in
these areas,” said Sam Hazen, chief executive officer of HCA
Healthcare. “We are excited to expand our presence in the state and
enhance our ability to care for patients.”
The new hospitals are a continuation of HCA Healthcare’s recent
commitment in Florida where the organization has invested
approximately $3 billion over the last three years. This includes
the $360 million HCA Florida University Hospital, which opened
earlier this month, as well as significant renovations and
expansions across the state to accommodate new, state-of-the-art
equipment.
