57 acres located at the intersection of Brent Lane and I-110 in Pensacola, Florida 
Three facilities: 
Baptist Hospital: 602,000 square feet, 10 floors with 264 beds 
Bear Family Foundation Health Center: 178,000 square feet, 6 floors with 162 exam rooms

Project Features:

Baptist Health Care is building a new main hospital at the intersection of Brent Lane and I-110 in Pensacola, Florida. This new facility will be close to the current main hospital location, offering greater access, enhanced technology, and a concentration of related services, making it easier and more convenient to deliver better care to those we serve.

Planning to transition the main hospital to the new campus, Baptist will evaluate and determine which programs, services, and departments might be best suited to remain at the current E Street location.

Discussion with community partners to determine the range of services outside the conventional hospital setting to serve local needs better.

  • Operations/Activation Readiness Assessment
  • Operating Guides
  • Patient Journeys and Workflows

  • Department Readiness Planning and Coordination

Summary:

Baptist Hospital in Pensacola, FL, set-out on a journey to develop a $650 million, 850,000 SF replacement hospital. The replacement hospital is equipped with 264 inpatient beds and 72 behavioral health beds. The replacement hospital also included a nearly 180,000 SF, 6-floor medical office building.

“One of the smartest decisions we have ever made as an organization is to commit to a replacement hospital and then invite IMH to take us there.”
