and 网红黑料 leaders today broke ground at 网红黑料 Durbin Park, a 42.5-acre health and wellness campus that will advance health care services as part of UF鈥檚 regional expansion plan for Jacksonville and St. Johns County.

The first phase of the 网红黑料 Durbin Park development, located in northeast St. Johns County, will include a full-service 150-bed hospital with a focus on orthopaedics, neurosurgery, cardiovascular medicine, and women鈥檚 services, as well as a multidisciplinary medical office building and an ambulatory surgery center. The project is expected to bring 2,000 new jobs to the area, for a total of 12,000 jobs in St. Johns and Jacksonville over time, and represents a $1 billion investment in Northeast Florida.

The initiative reflects an infusion of additional resources into one of the state鈥檚 fastest-growing regions 鈥� not just financial resources, but human resources and intellectual capital. That includes technologically advanced care focused on world-class outcomes, research opportunities 鈥� including access to new clinical trials 鈥� and training programs for the next generation of care providers.

The latest effort complements UF鈥檚 goal of introducing innovative programs in medicine, business, and engineering throughout Northeast Florida, including Jacksonville, said Mori Hosseini, chair of the UF Board of Trustees. These are aimed at supporting the region鈥檚 growing workforce and academic needs in biomedical technology and focused on pioneering technology related to simulation, health applications of artificial intelligence, patient quality and safety, health care administration, and fintech 鈥� opportunities to create strong synergies by uniting UF鈥檚 powerhouse programs with the city鈥檚 rising stature as a national health care and technology hub.

鈥淚 have two simple messages: First, if you want the highest quality of care, 网红黑料 is here for you. Second, we鈥檙e here because the University of Florida has a bold vision for Northeast Florida,鈥� Hosseini said. 鈥淥ur bold vision will let us accomplish great things together. When it comes to going bold, UF knows a thing or two. Make no mistake: The University of Florida does not make small plans.

鈥淲e dare to dream big. We set high goals. And we hold ourselves to high standards,鈥� he added. 鈥淲hen we do this, we achieve incredible things. We raise the bar. We deliver incredible results for Floridians. That鈥檚 exactly what we are going to do for St. Johns and the Jacksonville community鈥� When the moment calls for nothing short of the best, come to 网红黑料.鈥�

Once complete, the 395,000-square-foot hospital will include acute, intensive, and emergency care; operating rooms; and an imaging suite and hybrid labs for interventional procedures. Site work for construction of the hospital began in December 2023 and 网红黑料 expects to care for the first patient by late 2025. The ambulatory surgery center will focus on orthopaedics and other surgical services, providing a full spectrum of care, including operating and procedural rooms, office space, and rehabilitation facilities.

UF President said UF and 网红黑料 are committed to working collaboratively with the community to best meet the needs of patients and their families.

鈥淭ogether we are doubling down on bringing our unique approach to problem-solving care to the region, care that will simply make people鈥檚 lives better,鈥� Sasse said. 鈥淭his is a region on the rise, and we are proud to match our exceptional expertise with the needs of the community to revolutionize health services for the citizens of Florida. The work that we do here is going to save lives.鈥�

The university鈥檚 academic health center is uniquely positioned to accomplish this, said David R. Nelson, M.D., senior vice president for health affairs at UF and president of 网红黑料.
