Introduction:

Ocala Health announced plans for multi-faceted expansion project at West Marion Community Hospital with an investment of $40 Million.

Features:

This expansion project will add nearly 42,000 sq. ft. to the 13-year-old facility, meeting a continually growing need for acute care services for residents west of I-75. This expansion will nearly double the facility’s bed count in approximately two years.

The project will include expansions to three key areas of the hospital: emergency department, operating rooms, and patient rooms.

  • • The Emergency Department will grow with an additional nine exam rooms, bringing the total number to 31.
  • • The Surgical Department will expand from four to six operating rooms with space to add two operating rooms in the future; the plan includes additional pre-operative unit bays and post anesthesia care unit bays as well.
  • • The facility will add a fourth floor with 36 medical/surgical patient beds and eight intensive care unit beds. The total hospital bed count will increase from 94 to 138.
     

Parking capacity will increase by 212 spaces with plans to add 178 spaces in the public lot and 34 in the emergency room lot.
