WESLEY CHAPEL – AdventHealth Meadow Pointe ER officially opened its doors to patients on April 29.
The 13,000-square-foot emergency department on Chapel Commerce Drive, between Zephyrhills and Wesley Chapel, features 12 patient beds, two triage rooms and offers imaging and lab services. The ER also has a pediatric-friendly room designed to take care of even the littlest of patients.
“Having an emergency room in a growing area like this is really about a partnership with our clinical teams, our physician providers, our EMS within AdventHealth as well as our EMS with Pasco County,” said Mike Murrill, president and CEO of AdventHealth Zephyrhills and AdventHealth Connerton. “What is so awesome about this building here is we all work together to serve our growing community. That’s what I am so excited about.”
The AdventHealth Meadow Pointe ER joins the organization’s 10 other freestanding emergency departments across the West Florida Division. It is the fifth AdventHealth ER in Pasco County.
This also includes a dedicated EMS fleet of 21 ambulances and AdventHealth AirStar 1, a medical helicopter dedicated to critical patient transport across the Tampa Bay region.
Construction of the new AdventHealth Meadow Pointe ER cost $26 million. The project generated more than two dozen jobs in the Pasco County area.
“The completion of this facility in just nine months is a testament to the exceptional collaboration and long-term relationship between our team, AdventHealth, and our trade contractor partners,” said Todd Watson, state division manager for Robins & Morton. “We are thrilled to deliver this facility in a timely manner to begin serving our Pasco County community.”
The AdventHealth Meadow Pointe ER is a department of AdventHealth Zephyrhills.
