Memorial Hospital to begin $23 M Emergency Department expansion
Memorial Hospital will begin a $23 million expansion of its main Emergency Department early next year.
In addition to adding 23,000 square feet of new construction, the project will renovate the existing emergency department, and expand and remodel the entrance to combine all adult and pediatric services under one roof. A new rooftop helipad and expanded parking will also be added through the project, which is expected to take approximately 18 to 24 months to complete.
“As the busiest ER in Jacksonville, we continue to see an increase in patients choosing our Emergency Department for their emergency care needs,” President and CEO Jim O’Loughlin said. “By expanding our ER, we will be able to meet the community’s growing needs, while treating patients more quickly and efficiently.”
Traffic and parking will be rerouted throughout the project, with signage to direct patients, visitors and staff on how to access the ER.
