HCA Florida Healthcare announced Dec. 16 it opened its emergency room in Oakleaf Plantation.
The freestanding HCA Florida Royal Pines Emergency is at 1093 Oakleaf Plantation Parkway, west of the First Coast Expressway in Orange Park.
An extension of Orange Park Hospital’s emergency services, the 10,860-square-foot facility will serve Clay and Duval counties.
Chad Patrick, CEO of HCA Florida Orange Park Hospital, said in a news release that the addition “significantly enhances access to emergency care” in the area.
“As part of HCA Florida Healthcare, the largest system in the state, this facility ensures our community has seamless access to the comprehensive, statewide resources of a major network,” he said.
The budget for construction and medical equipment was about $26 million, the release stated.
The project was developed in partnership with Gainesville-based Charles Perry Partners Inc., with architects from Hereford Dooley Architects Inc. of Nashville, Tennessee.
The ER includes 10 private rooms, a trauma bay and pediatric room. Staffed by board-certified emergency physicians and nurses, it will offer CT scan, X-ray and ultrasound diagnostics and 24/7 availability.
