AdventHealth Zephyrhills marks major construction milestone to bring more care to a growing community

ZEPHYRHILLS, Fla. — Progress is happening on the AdventHealth Zephyrhills hospital campus that’s leading to expanded, high-quality health care closer to home for Zephyrhills residents.

AdventHealth and construction leaders signed the final beam for a topping out ceremony at its new medical office building. The milestone celebrates the placement of the building’s final structural beam and continued work on a facility designed to improve access to care.

The nearly 35,000-square-foot medical office building will provide additional space for new and employed physicians and offer patients more convenient access to care. Once completed, the facility will house Primary Care and multiple specialty physician offices, including cardiology, gastroenterology, general surgery and urology.

“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,” said Mike Murrill, president and CEO of AdventHealth Zephyrhills. “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 project responds to the area’s rapid growth, with Pasco County projecting a 40 percent population increase by 2045. Much of that growth is expected to occur in the South and Central Market Areas, increasing demand for accessible, comprehensive health care services.

The new medical office building is part of a broader series of investments AdventHealth has made across Pasco County in recent years.

Late last year, AdventHealth Wesley Chapel opened one floor of its expanded three-story North Wing bringing the hospital’s licensed beds from 169 to 193 and two-story South Courtyard Infill. The new floors are an opportunity for future growth.

AdventHealth Zephyrhills is also getting ready to celebrate the one-year anniversary of AdventHealth Meadow Pointe ER, which has 12 patient beds and brought in more than two dozen jobs to the area.

In addition, AdventHealth Sports Med and Rehab Zephyrhills is also close to celebrating its first year being open and serving the rehabilitation needs of the East Pasco community, from injury recovery to post-surgical therapy.

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

“We’re proud to celebrate this important milestone alongside our longtime partner AdventHealth," Robins & Morton Florida Division Manager Todd Watson said. "Topping out this new medical office building is a testament to the dedication and collaboration of everyone involved. We look forward to delivering a facility that will expand access to high-quality health care and serve the needs of our community for years to come.”

Construction remains on track, with the new medical office building expected to be completed this fall.
