BayCare Health Systems has revealed construction plans for a new $548 million hospital – the first one for the Health System in Manatee County. The facility will have 154-beds and is planned to be on Moccasin Wallow Road, a growing area north of the intersection of I-75 and I-275, making it accessible to residents in southern Pinellas County.

BayCare Hospital Manatee will have an emergency room and facilities for orthopedic and specialty surgery, urology, gastroenterology, cardiology, diagnostic and interventional imaging, obstetrics, and neonatology according to a press release. Additionally, there will be a 45,000 SF building with outpatient services and offices for physicians.

Construction is slated to begin in October.

“At BayCare, our mission is to serve the community’s health and we are so excited to be deepening our commitment to the residents of Manatee County,” said Stephanie Conners, BayCare president and CEO in a statement. “As West Central Florida continues to grow and thrive, we are committed to investing in our communities to bringing high-quality and compassionate care closer to our communities.”

The new hospital will be the first in Manatee County built north of the Manatee River, an area that has been seeing lots of development in the past two decades. It will also be the first non-profit owned hospital in the county. BayCare says the hospital shows signs of commitment of the Health Care System to meet the needs of fast-growing communities in and around Tampa Bay.
