Introduction:

Memorial Hospital announce it will embark on a $23 million expansion project of the main Emergency Department to meet the community's growing need for additional access to ER services in Jacksonville, Florida.

The project includes:

  •  Addition of approximately 23,000 square feet of new building construction
  •  Renovation of existing main ED
  •  Relocation of the pediatric ER rooms, entrance and waiting area to the main ER building
  •  Construction of a new rooftop helipad
  •  Reconfigured parking for patients, visitors and staff
