One of the most respected medical organizations in the country will be expanding its presence in Florida. Cleveland Clinic, which has an outpatient center at City Place in West Palm Beach, revealed construction plans for a new hospital and a major expansion of outpatient services.
“Palm Beach County has long been an area where we have planned to grow to enhance care for the community,” said Tom Mihaljevic, M.D., CEO and President of Cleveland Clinic and the holder of the Morton L. Mandel CEO Chair. “Our expansion plan will transform care for the community with a new hospital and outpatient clinics that provide a broad range of specialties, greater access and innovative patient experience programs. We have started an accelerated fundraising effort with the support of many visionary and compassionate Palm Beach County residents.”
According to a press release, Cleveland Clinic, plans for the new hospital include approximately 150 inpatient beds, an emergency department, a medical office building and an ambulatory surgery center. In addition, Cleveland Clinic will lease space at 15 CityPlace for a new outpatient location that will nearly quadruple the square footage of the existing Cleveland Clinic Health Center. Additional services will include chemotherapy and infusions, a concierge medicine program, imaging, endoscopy and outpatient surgery. As the fundraising campaign kicks off in 2025, and donors throughout the community get involved, community updates with further details can be shared.
“A broad range of specialties will be provided in the new hospital with the flexibility to adapt and add specialty care as the needs of the Palm Beach community evolve. Priority specialties will include heart, vascular and thoracic care, digestive disease care, neurological care and cancer care,” said Conor P. Delaney, M.D., Ph.D., president, Cleveland Clinic’s Florida Market. Cleveland Clinic’s other medical centers in South Florida include Weston Hospital, as well as hospitals in Martin County and Indian River County.
