Robert Hill, CEO of Bethesda Memorial Hospital in Boynton, announced April 23 that the Bethesda West Hospital can officially move forward in West Boynton.
The announcement comes after the 4th District Court of Appeal of the State of Florida denied the appeal efforts of HCA (JFK Medical Center) and Tenet Healthcare Corporation (Delray Medical Center) for a rehearing or for certification of their appeals to the Florida Supreme Court.
Hill said Bethesda Healthcare Systems’ Bethesda West Hospital will be on a 58-acre site at the northeast corner of West Boynton Beach Boulevard and U.S. Highway 441.
Also located on the property will be a new medical office building and a lake to relax visitors.
Lisa Kronhaus, hospital spokeswoman, said initial plans for Bethesda West Hospital include building an acute care hospital with general medical, surgical and intensive care services, and outpatient services.
There will also be a 24-hour emergency department and a full complement of diagnostic services including MRI, CT, general radiography and mammography.
