Bethesda wins court decision to build hospital in West Boynton

Bethesda Healthcare System announced that the Fourth District Court of Appeal of the State of Florida has upheld Bethesda’s Certificate of Need application to build a hospital in West Boynton.
Robert Hill, CEO of Bethesda Healthcare System, said now the work can begin to bring vital hospital services to West Boynton, one of the fastest growing communities in Florida.
Hill said with the court’s decision, Bethesda can now move forward full steam ahead on the project.
Kiswana Russell, hospital spokeswoman, said Bethesda plans to build Bethesda West Hospital as an 80-bed, full-service, acute care hospital with general medical, surgical and intensive care services, and a 24-hour emergency department.
The new hospital will be built on the northeast corner of West Boynton Beach Boulevard and U.S. Highway 441.
The hospital will feature 68 all-private patient rooms, 12 intensive care rooms, four full-service operating room suites, a 24-hour emergency department with 18 patient treatment areas, and a full complement of diagnostic services including MRI, CT, general radiography and mammography.
