BayCare Health System announced construction plans for its newest hospital, a comprehensive acute care facility to serve the rapidly growing community of Manatee County, Florida. BayCare Hospital Manatee will be the county’s first nonprofit hospital and the only hospital north of Manatee River.
Expected to open in 2027, the hospital will feature 154 private patient rooms. Additionally, the $548-million project will include a 45,000-square-foot medical arts building. It will be built on the Robinson Gateway Property on Moccasin Wallow Road, located 1 mile north of the I-75 and I-275 intersection in Manatee County. Construction is expected to begin in October.
Designed by Gresham Smith, the hospital will offer services including general, orthopedic and specialty surgery, urology, gastroenterology, cardiology, diagnostic and interventional imaging, emergency care, obstetrics and neonatology. The hospital’s design anticipates expanding to 207 beds when needed, with additional capacity possible as the community grows.
BayCare Hospital Manatee will be the county’s first not-for-profit hospital and the only one located north of the Manatee River.
