New hospital breaks ground in Wesley Chapel

WESLEY CHAPEL, FL – Another hospital is being constructed off Bruce B Downs in the northern section of Seven Oaks. During a ceremonial groundbreaking event Wednesday, BayCare executives, elected officials, chamber members and community members celebrated the construction of BayCare Hospital Wesley Chapel, a new facility designed to meet the growing health care needs of the community.

The new “BayCare Hospital Wesley Chapel” is located at 4501 Bruce B. Downs Boulevard in Wesley Chapel and is expected to open in early 2023.

The following is a press release from Bay Care Health Systems with details:

“Wesley Chapel, health care excellence is coming your way.”

“We’re eager to bring BayCare’s clinical excellence right to your backyard with BayCare Hospital Wesley Chapel, an 86-bed, state-of-the-art hospital that’s due to be completed in early 2023. Located on Bruce B. Downs Boulevard in Pasco County, the new hospital will contain comprehensive medical services and health care resources including an emergency department, an intensive care unit with virtual-monitoring beds, diagnostic services such as imaging and lab, and physical rehabilitation.

And it’s good for your neighborhood: Hospital construction will bring hundreds of jobs to the area – roughly 225 during the construction phase and approximately 275 permanent positions by the second year of the hospital being open. The project represents a $246 million investment to serve the growing health and wellness needs of this community.

We’re breaking ground to offer more groundbreaking health care. But in the meantime, if you’re on a mission to improve your health and feel better, check out what BayCare offers.”
