Flad and Gilbane to Build Laurel Road SMH Campus

Coconut Telegraph

The Sarasota County Public Hospital Board selected Flad Architects and Gilbane Building Company to design and construct its new $225 million 65-acre hospital campus in Venice. The Hospital Board’s unanimous vote clears the way for SMH staff to begin working with the firms on pre-construction and design plans for the new hospital campus. SMH’s Laurel Road campus includes a 315,000-square foot, 90-bed acute care hospital with a 20-bed observation unit and 25-room Emergency Care Center. The new hospital will include surgical suites, an operating room for medically necessary C-sections; cardiac catheterization lab; endoscopy suite, respiratory services, chemotherapy services, rehabilitation services, radiology services, a laboratory, pharmacy, outpatient services and a medical office building. Florida’s Agency for Healthcare Administration granted preliminary approval of SMH’s CON application last year, but the project was delayed after surrounding hospitals challenged the state's decision. Once it obtains its CON, SMH estimates it will take about three years to build the campus. It expects to treat up to 5,000 patients and 850 obstetrical patients in its first year.

Give Gratitude, Grateful Patient Program

If you have been a patient at Sarasota Memorial, perhaps you can look back to when the care you received exceeded your expectations. Maybe it was kind words from a doctor or nurse, the patience of a technologist who took the time to explain a procedure, or a volunteer, housekeeper or food service
