AdventHealth nearing completion of Pasco medical office building

AdventHealth is one step closer toward opening new medical offices on its Zephyrhills campus in Pasco County, according to a release. 

Officials signed the final construction beam for the 35,000-square-foot medical office building on Wednesday during a “topping out” ceremony held roughly six months after the project broke ground in late August. Once signed, construction crews placed the final structural beam on the facility, on track to open to the public this fall. 

The new building will provide additional space for new and employed physicians while also housing primary care and multiple specialty physician offices including cardiology, gastroenterology, urology and general surgery.

“We’re excited to see this project take shape here on our Zephyrhills hospital campus. It’s a reminder of our long-term commitment to the Zephyrhills community,” Mike Murrill, president and CEO of AdventHealth Zephyrhills, says in the release. “For 40 years, AdventHealth Zephyrhills has grown alongside this community, and a new medical office building ensures we’re prepared to meet the needs of our neighbors for decades to come.” 

The new building, at 7050 Gall Blvd., comes to Pasco in response to projections that show its population increasing by 40% by 2045, the regional health care system says. Much of that growth is expected to occur in the southern and central regions of the county, which means an increasing demand for accessible and comprehensive health care. 

The new medical office building is one of several investments AdventHealth has made across Pasco County in recent years. 

Last year, AdventHealth Wesley Chapel opened the first floor of its expanded three-story North Wing, bringing the number of licensed beds in the hospital from 169 to 193, the release says. AdventHealth Zephyrhills is also nearing the one-year anniversary of its Meadow Pointe ER, which offers 12 patient beds and brought more than two dozen jobs to the region. 

Additionally, AdventHealth Sports Med and Rehab Zephyrhills has been opened for nearly one year, serving communities in East Pasco with rehabilitation services ranging from injury recovery to post-surgical therapy. 

AdventHealth is partnering with HuntonBrady Architects on the design of its new medical office building, with Robins & Morton serving as the construction partner.
