AdventHealth opens its first clinic in St. Johns County, expanding local access to expert specialty care

Residents of St. Johns County now have easier access to specialty medical care with the opening of AdventHealth Medical Group’s first clinic in the area.

The 3,000-square-foot facility, located at 1000 Plantation Island Drive, Suites 2A, 2C and 2D in St. Augustine, brings together physicians specializing in cardiology, gastroenterology, orthopedics, urogynecology, nephrology, neurosurgery, bariatric surgery, vascular and general surgery.

For local residents, the new clinic means fewer drives across county lines for specialty care — and a stronger connection to a network designed to help people stay healthy close to home.

“Our goal is simple: to make it easier for people to get the care they need, when and where they need it,” said Bryan Mueller, President and CEO of AdventHealth Medical Group. “This clinic brings expert physicians closer to home in an environment built around convenience, compassion, and connection.”

AdventHealth’s expansion into St. Johns County builds on more than two decades of caring for patients in neighboring Flagler County, where the health system has invested more than $200 million in new facilities and services, including a hospital, cancer treatment center, and additional physicians.

“Having the presence we have had in Flagler County for many years now, it’s a natural extension to move across the county lines and offer that same care here in St. Augustine,” said Denyse Bales-Chubb, president and CEO for AdventHealth’s Flagler and St. Johns market.

The new clinic is one of several projects underway in St. Johns County. Earlier this year, AdventHealth broke ground on a 12-bed freestanding emergency department along State Road 207 near Wildwood Drive, expected to open in 2026. The facility will provide 24/7 emergency care closer to home — reducing transport times and connecting residents with life-saving care in critical moments.

The new clinic, the forthcoming State Road 207 emergency department, and plans for a future site in the World Commerce Center area, reflects AdventHealth’s growing footprint in St. Johns County — giving local residents access to both everyday and emergency care without leaving their community.

In February, AdventHealth purchased 21.5 acres in the World Commerce Center area, setting the stage for future development to meet the county’s growing health care needs.

Headquartered in Central Florida, AdventHealth operates 32 hospitals, nearly two dozen freestanding emergency rooms, and hundreds of clinics statewide. Its northward expansion to St. Johns County continues the organization’s mission to extend Christ’s healing ministry and make whole-person care accessible to more people — body, mind, and spirit.
