HCA Healthcare has purchased land in St. Cloud, FL, where it plans to build a new freestanding emergency room.
The Nashville, Tennessee-based for-profit health system bought the vacant 1.48-acre parcel for $2.85 million on April 7, according to Osceola County records, the Orlando Business Journal reports.
HCA already filed plans for the new 11-room, 10,860-square-foot ER slated to be built on the property.
The project will be part of the St. Cloud Marketplace development from Orlando-based RRB Partners, which sold the land through a related entity. HCA executives were not immediately available for comment, but the company previously said the site will have 40 employees and target opening at the end of this year.
Orlando Health St. Cloud Hospital is the closest full service hospital to the proposed site. Read more.
