    Memorial Healthcare System is expanding access to adult and pediatric advanced emergency services in South Broward and Northwest Miami-Dade counties, located in Florida, with the development of two new freestanding emergency departments. The new facility at Miramar Parkway and Red Road in Miramar and the redeveloped and expanded FSED at 801 Douglas Road in Pembroke Pines are strategically located to meet high demand in these rapidly growing areas.

    With an estimated construction cost of $61.8 million, work on the FSEDs is set to begin in early 2025, with anticipated completion by mid 2026. Both projects were approved by the South Hospital District Board of Commissioners in October after swift action was taken by Strum to breathe new life into the projects.

    The Miramar Parkway and Red Road FSED, a 16,800-square-foot facility, will serve the fast expanding Northwest Miami-Dade region, where emergency visits comprise 27% of Memorial’s total emergency room volume. Equipped with 13 examination rooms, a pediatric treatment area, a trauma/resuscitation room, advanced imaging and on-site lab capabilities, this FSED will provide emergency care to over 32,850 individuals annually. With the local population projected to increase by 10% by 2029, this facility will offer convenient access to care and help reduce wait times.

    The Douglas Road FSED will transform a 48-year-old building into a 30,100-square-foot facility. With 20 private examination and treatment rooms, dedicated pediatric areas and enhanced imaging services, this facility is projected to care for approximately 55,000 individuals each year, with room for future growth. Designed with a private behavioral health area and trauma/resuscitation room, the Douglas Road FSED is equipped to meet diverse emergency needs and to provide essential care to uninsured and Medicaid-dependent patients who make up nearly a third of the local community.
