The campus includes a five-story, 365,000-square-foot hospital with 110 private rooms and a 28-bed emergency department and a two-story, 60,000-square-foot medical office building. It also has an adjacent 400-space parking garage.

The hospital broke ground on the new campus, which will cost $437 million, in 2019. Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, the project remained on track, according to Sharon Roush, president of Sarasota Memorial Hospital-Venice.

“Honestly, I think the mission of a new hospital coming in — in the middle of the pandemic — has been kind of at the heart of the whole team understanding the need,” Ms. Roush told the Herald-Tribune. “If there’s ever been a time to need a new hospital, now, more than ever.”

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
