BayCare broke ground on a $563 million medical campus, in Palmetto, that will include the region’s first nonprofit hospital north of the Manatee River.
The project includes BayCare Hospital Manatee, a 154-bed acute-care hospital and a 45,000-square-foot BayCare Health Hub.
The new hospital will become BayCare’s 17th facility in West Central Florida. The adjacent health hub will provide outpatient and specialty care in a modern, patient-centered environment.
BayCare, a nonprofit health care system, operates 16 hospitals and offers medical services throughout the Tampa Bay area.
