Palm Coast's new infirmary will have 100 beds spread over a 155,000, four-story building between east- and westbound Palm Coast Parkway and between Pine Lakes Parkway and Belle Terre Parkway, and will first with about 400 new jobs and ultimately generate well-nigh 700, AdventHealth Palm Coast Chief Operating Officer Wally De Aquino told the Palm Coast planning board April 21.

The proposed master planned development rezoning and chief site plan for the new hospital received a 7-0 vote of support from the Planning and Land Development Regulation Board, which volition recommend that the City Council approve it.
An adjacent function building to be completed in a second phase of construction would be two stories and 30,000 square anxiety.
Construction on the new infirmary is expected to begin in September and cost $100 meg, according to an AdventHealh news release.
The new hospital, chosen AdventHealth Palm Declension Parkway, is AdventHealth's 2nd in Palm Coast, and is one of ii potential major medical facilities in the Palm Coast Parkway area: Another hospital by an undisclosed company has been proposed for the west side of U.South. 1 at its intersection with Palm Declension Parkway.
The 69.5-pes-alpine new AdventHealth hospital would sit on an eleven-acre site, with patient parking in the northeast and employee parking behind the O'Reilly Auto Parts property in the northwest.
"It will provide emergency medical services substantially closer to central and north Palm Declension residents and exist a major generator of well-paying jobs."
— Pecker HOOVER, Palm Coast senior planner
At 11 acres, the new hospital site will exist much more than compact than the approximately 95-acre existing AdventHealth site on State Road 100, but will have about the same number of beds.
A heliport would be constructed on the infirmary's eastward side to airlift patients from the infirmary to a trauma eye, if needed, because the proposed hospital will not have one.
Aside from its emergency room, the new infirmary volition offer cardiology, surgery, orthopedic services and inpatient rehab, while the medical office building volition offering outpatient rehab.
The emergency room will take 20 ICU rooms, plus another xx that could be converted into ICU rooms if at that place's another pandemic, De Aquino told planning board members.
"Thankfully, we have done the already in this [Country Road 100] facility, so the other facility will be able to provide an additional 40 turnkey ICU rooms if there'southward a need in the future," he said.
Planning board member Sandra Shank asked if the new hospital volition offer pediatrics and obstetrics, which aren't offered at the current hospital on S.R. 100.
De Aquino said it will non.
The new hospital is one of two potential new major medical facilities in the Palm Coast Parkway area: Another has been proposed for the west side of U.S. ane at its intersection with Palm Coast Parkway.
In 2020, he said, there were 825 births attributed to Flagler Canton. New mothers can become to Daytona and St. Augustine for delivery, and if AdventHealth offered an obstetrics center, it would capture maybe 50% or lx% of the market.
"And so, we gauge that if we were to open a birth center today, we would have less than two births per day coming to our facility," he said. "... It would be impossible to recruit skilled physicians that would be willing to come to a facility where they can only deliver one or two babies a day, if that. And then nurses also require training, and for that they need to acquire '10' amount of deliveries so they tin can go on to keep their proficiencies in gear."
In terms of pediatric care, he said, there'south not enough need. The vast majority of pediatric care is outpatient, De Aquino said, and over the last 12 months, the AdventHealth Palm Coast location on S.R. 100 had two,500 pediatric visits. Just 85 required transfer to another facility, and non all of those were for inpatient care.
Hospital leadership ofttimes also fields questions about a trauma center, De Aquino said, only that designation is conferred by the state later on a infirmary meets a number of atmospheric condition. AdventHealth contracted with a consulting company in 2018 to see if it was getting close, just it'southward non. The only trauma heart in the region for now is Halifax Hospital, he said.
Metropolis planning staff constitute the proposed facility's master site program in compliance with metropolis requirements.
The hospital volition be located abut 300 feet from the nearest duplex home to the north and about 500 feet from the nearest unmarried-family home to the south, with Palm Coast Parkway and a wooded canal providing a buffer, said Palm Coast Senior Planner Neb Hoover.
"By developing an infill holding with a mutual architectural theme, it will provide emergency medical services substantially closer to fundamental and north Palm Coast residents and be a major generator of well-paying jobs," Hoover said. "... When you locate on an infill bundle that'south been passed over a lot, that's a major plus every bit far equally state-planning."
