The new facility is expected to open in the second quarter of 2022.

This groundbreaking will provide attendees and media the opportunity to hear from Manatee Memorial Hospital’s Leadership, including Tom McDougal, Chief Executive Officer, Kevin DiLallo, Group Vice President-Florida Region, as well as from Lynne Conlan, Executive Director, South Hillsborough Chamber of Commerce, and Stacy White, Hillsborough County Commissioner, District 4.

“We are honored to be expanding in Hillsborough County with the first freestanding emergency room for Manatee Memorial Hospital. By expanding our emergency services, we can better meet the needs of our growing communities and provide access to emergency care where it is needed.  No matter what the emergency, the new ER at Sun City will be equipped to handle everything from minor conditions to stabilizing treatment for major conditions such as heart attack and stroke,” stated Tom McDougal, CEO of Manatee Memorial Hospital.
