Jupiter (Fla.) Medical Center, an independent, nonprofit health system, broke ground June 24 on its second hospital, the “Jupiter Medical Center Neighborhood Hospital at The Health Park at Avenir.”
The 53,000-square-foot facility will comprise 29 inpatient beds, four operating rooms, 24-hour emergency services, imaging services and a diagnostic laboratory, according to a news release.
Jupiter Medical Center Neighborhood Hospital at The Health Park at Avenir will be adjacent to a 47,000-square-foot, three-story medical office building for Jupiter Medical Center physicians. The building will feature cardiology, concierge medicine, gastroenterology, general surgery, primary care, pulmonary and orthopedics.
Both the hospital and medical office building are expected to open in early 2028.
They will sit within the Avenir community, which has been approved for 3,650 homes, including retail, office and recreational amenities. Two separate 25,000-square-foot, two-story medical office buildings will also be on the health complex site, the release said.
“Breaking ground on the second hospital in our health system’s history represents a defining step in our continued growth and our mission to expand access to the highest-quality care across our region,” Amit Rastogi, MD, MHCM, President and CEO of Jupiter Medical Center, said in the release. “As western Palm Beach County continues to grow, this new campus will allow us to bring advanced emergency, surgical, and specialty care closer to home for patients and families, while strengthening the seamless continuum of care that defines Jupiter Medical Center.”
