Building for Our Future
On June 11, 2024, Lakewood Ranch Medical Center broke ground on the construction of the first phase of its new $120 million patient bed tower on the hospital’s campus. The project will take approximately 18 months to complete, with the opening slated for early 2026.
The five-story tower will increase the hospital’s capacity by adding 60 patient beds (30 for intensive care patients and 30 for progressive care patients) and will facilitate emergency room patient flow. It will allow for the expansion of key ancillary departments and will accommodate growth in inpatient medical/surgical, complex cardiology and higher acuity neurological services – all important to expanding access to high-quality care in this rapidly growing community.
The tower will include shell space for an additional 60 patient beds as the hospital continues to grow and add services.
“This expansion will allow us to introduce new service lines and enhance our ability to meet the evolving healthcare needs of our community. We're proud to take this step forward in advancing the level of care we provide to our patients and their families.”
Rob J. Anderson, CEO of Lakewood Ranch Medical Center
