The area’s third Baptist HealthPlace location opens June 2.
Baptist HealthPlace at Seven Pines is at 11851 Stillwood Pines Blvd., at Resolution Drive, south of Butler Boulevard at the Kernan Boulevard exit. The other locations are in Nocatee and Fleming Island.
The medical facility offers primary care, cardiology, orthopedics, rehabilitative care and lab services.
It does not offer emergency medical services. Baptist & Wolfson Town Center Emergency Room at 4085 Town Center Parkway is about 3 miles away.
Besides Baptist Health Place at Seven Pines and the Town Center Emergency Room, Baptist has Baptist Medical Center Beaches at 1350 13th Ave S. in Jacksonville Beach, about 9 miles away.
The medical facilities are clustered within a 15-minute drive of population centers in east Duval and St. Johns counties to address residential growth and demand, said Eric Fletcher, executive vice president and chief strategy officer for Baptist Health.
“I mentioned that 1.25 million people live within 30 minutes, and it’s almost a million people within 15 minutes. It’s growing at about a 10% annual rate,” Fletcher said.
The hospital group studies needs for specific care in demographic areas and recognized that Baptist could provide more orthopedic services, Fletcher said
Construction started in January 2025 on the estimated $40 million, 51,000-square-foot medical center.
Brasfield & Gorrie of Birmingham, Alabama, with offices in Jacksonville, was the contractor, and E4H was the architect. Design specifications were negotiated by Seven Pines original landowners, Sawmill Timber LLC, owned by the Skinner family and the community’s developers ICI Homes and David Weekley Homes.
“The building needed to fit into this new community. It had a multitude of requirements for it to be modern and chic,” said Cristina Stover, director of construction management at Baptist Health.
“You can see that all reflected in the architecture. It’s a really beautiful space.”
The facility resembles a high-end hotel rather than a medical office complex. Waiting areas are decorated with vivid art, and patients and families sit in upholstered chairs. The two-story entrance has a curved staircase and decorative bubble light fixtures hang from the ceiling. Several arched windows provide natural lighting.
It is no coincidence that Baptist HealthPlace centers are built as part of master-planned community developments.
“When a developer’s developing something like Seven Pines, they know one of the things that will draw and attract people to it is to have a Publix and to have healthcare nearby for the residents,” Fletcher said.
“Those conversations start in development, and they happen to start usually with master-plan communities.”
While targeted to Seven Pines residents, Baptist HealthPlace is open to everyone.
A summer safety event is planned for 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. June 13.
