History
On November 19, 2018, Florida Hospital Flagler announced that it was purchasing six acres from Flagler County for $175,000. It is located by Interstate 95 and Matanzas High School. It planned on building a 12-bed emergency department and a two-story medical office building for a total of $25 million. [1] [2] [3] Later plans for the ER were dropped.
On January 19, 2021, AdventHealth announced that it was constructing a new $100 million [4] [5] [6] (later it grew to $167 million) 153,000-square-foot; four-story hospital in Palm Coast, Florida with 100 private beds. [7] [8] It expected that the new hospital would create 300 to 500 full-time jobs, in addition to the 1,100 at AdventHealth Palm Coast. [4] [5] [9] In late April, by a vote of 7-to-0 the Planning and Land Development Regulation Board approved rezoning the 11-acre site. [10] In early May 18, the Palm Coast City Council approved the construction of AdventHealth Palm Coast Parkway and a medical office building. The Palm Coast City Council made zoning changes to the district since it limited the height of buildings to 50-feet to allow the 80-foot tall hospital. [11] On September 2, there was a groundbreaking for AdventHealth Palm Coast Parkway. [12] On September 14, Robins & Morton began construction of the hospital. [13] [14] [15]
On May 24, 2022, there was a topping out of AdventHealth Palm Coast Parkway. [16] [17] [18] On July 31, 2023, construction was completed and the hospital opened with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on August 2, 2023. [7] [19] It opened next to a 30,000-square-foot medical office building which opened on June 2, 2023. [20] [21] After being open for one year the emergency department at AdventHealth Palm Coast Parkway had treated 30,000 people, it also had 5,300 inpatient visits and 16,700 outpatient visits. And in the end the number of employees hired for the hospital was 650. [22] [23]
