Florida State University has announced plans to build an acute care hospital in Panama City Beach under the FSU Health name. Construction is set to begin soon, with a targeted opening date in 2028.
The first phase of the hospital can accommodate up to 180 beds and will offer a broad range of healthcare services, including emergency medicine, general surgery and diagnostic imaging. In addition, plans call for the development of specialized service lines such as cardiac care, neurology and orthopedics.
The university will partner with an operator, anticipated to be Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare pending approval by the city of Tallahassee, to lease and operate the new hospital. This arrangement will ensure long-term quality performance that aligns with growing community needs and innovative best practices. Learn more about the project here.
