AdventHealth Breaks Ground on New Off-Site Emergency Department In Pasco County

July 09, 2024 — AdventHealth and Pasco County officially broke ground on the new Meadow Pointe off-site Emergency Room on Tuesday, July 9. This new ER, now under construction, will be strategically located in the rapidly developing area between AdventHealth Wesley Chapel and AdventHealth Zephyrhills.

The more than 13,000-square-foot Emergency Department, located at 5170 Chapel Commerce Drive, Wesley Chapel, FL 33543, will have 12 patient beds, two triage rooms and will offer imaging and lab services.

Construction on this $26M project is expected to be completed in the first half of 2025. The opening of this new emergency department will also create more than 30 jobs in the Pasco County Community.

“Pasco County is growing quickly, and we want to make sure we’re meeting the needs of our community,” said Mike Murrill, president and CEO of AdventHealth Zephyrhills, AdventHealth Dade City and AdventHealth Connerton. “We are committed to expanding our footprint of emergency care services and making it easy for our neighbors to access AdventHealth’s robust network of care.”

The AdventHealth Meadow Pointe ER joins the organization’s eight other freestanding emergency rooms across the Tampa Bay Area. This also includes an extensive and dedicated EMS fleet with 21 ambulances and AdventHealth AirStar 1, a medical helicopter dedicated to critical patient transport across the Tampa Bay region.

“I’m excited to see this built,” said Ryan Guynn, Assistant Fire Chief of Pasco County Fire Rescue. “Without a facility to bring our sick and injured to, fire rescue is useless so this facility is going to provide us with another place where we can get our Pasco County citizens timely, professional health care.”

AdventHealth West Florida Division leaders, government officials, including Rep. Randy Maggard and Pasco County Commissioner Seth Weightman, and Robins & Morton construction came together this morning to celebrate the new development.

“The groundbreaking of AdventHealth Meadow Pointe ER also celebrates our long-term partnership with AdventHealth,” Robins & Morton Division Manager Todd Watson said. “Our work at this facility will reflect our commitment to enhancing both patient and healthcare worker experiences through thoughtful, efficient, and quality-driven construction.”
