Mayo Clinic announced an expansion of the Mayo Clinic hospital in Florida. The $432 million investment is occurring because of increasing patient demand for complex care and a commitment by Mayo Clinic to redefine the future of health care.
The project includes building five new floors atop the existing hospital tower — resulting in 121 new inpatient beds, including 56 ICU beds — with additional shelled space for future growth. Construction at the hospital in Jacksonville, Florida, is expected to begin later this year and will be completed by the end of 2026.
The expansion joins other projects occurring at Mayo Clinic in Florida, including the construction of the first carbon ion therapy facility in North America.
Mayo Clinic Hospital opened in April 2008 with six floors and 214 beds, and was further expanded in 2012 when two floors and 90 beds were added. After new construction is completed, the hospital will have 1.4 million square feet, 13 floors and 428 patient beds.
In 2021, Mayo Clinic in Florida treated 168,000 patients, performed nearly 20,000 surgeries, and provided high-quality care for patients from all 50 states and more than 80 countries.
Since 2016 Mayo has invested more than $1 billion in major construction projects ― more than doubling its space by 2026 with new facilities for patient care, biomedical research, education and technology. Read more.
