BayCare Hospital Manatee will meet the growing healthcare needs of the community, offering a range of services such as neonatal care, gastroenterology, cardiology, and urology. 

Architectural company Gresham Smith designed the hospital. 

BayCare has been preparing for this expansion since 2022, addressing zoning and site preparation while also establishing a BayCare Medical Group physicians’ office in Palmetto, close to the upcoming hospital’s location.  

The health system offers home health and telehealth services in the area and plans to include additional services in the medical arts building, including ambulatory, outpatient imaging, diagnostic and laboratory services.  

BayCare provides behavioural health and paediatric services in West Central Florida.  

BayCare co-chief operating officer Kimberly Guy said: “As Manatee County experiences rapid growth, it’s imperative to prioritise smart, sustainable development strategies to ensure well-being of this community. 

“At BayCare, we recognise the importance of smart growth initiatives that not only accommodate increasing population but also promote access to high-quality healthcare services.”
