Sarasota Memorial Health Care sets groundbreaking date for 110-bed Venice campus

Sarasota (Fla.) Memorial Health Care will break ground April 4 on its new hospital in Venice, Fla., according to the Herald-Tribune.

The hospital will have 90 private rooms for acute care patients and 20 private rooms for patients under observation. Sarasota Memorial Health Care bought the 65-acre Venice parcel in 2005 and faced various hurdles obtaining a certificate of need until it was finally approved in April 2018.

The campus will be Sarasota Memorial Hospital's first satellite hospital.

"People ask me all the time, 'Are 110 beds going to be enough?,’'' said David Verinder, president and CEO of Sarasota Memorial Health Care. "I’ll tell you, no, it’s not. We know it, but it’s what we could get through the state originally, through the court system. After it’s built, we're able to expand it from there and do it without the whole," certificate of need process.
