Florida Hospital Flagler Purchases Land for New Facility in North Palm Coast

July 28, 2011 - PRLog -- PALM COAST – Florida Hospital Flagler has purchased 3 acres in the Cobblestone Village at 120 Cypress Edge Drive, Palm Coast, next to Wal-Mart.  

This plot of land will soon be the home of a new 34,000 square-foot medical plaza, complete with physician suites and outpatient hospital services, such as rehabilitation, imaging, laboratory, and a women’s center. Construction is scheduled to start October 2011 and should be complete by June 2012.  

“This facility will be more convenient for those residents who live on the north side of Palm Coast, giving them easier access to health care,” said David Ottati, Florida Hospital Flagler CEO. “This $15 million investment will create jobs and will attract additional businesses to the area.”

While there are several existing commercial spaces in Palm Coast, the hospital’s leadership performed extensive research before determining it would be more cost-effective to construct a new facility, rather than trying to retrofit an existing building.
