AdventHealth leaders, community partners and local lawmakers gathered to celebrate the groundbreaking of the new AdventHealth New Port Richey ER, a free-standing emergency department designed to bring care closer to families in West Pasco County. 

The more than 13,000-square-foot facility will feature 12 patient beds and provide comprehensive emergency services, including on-site imaging with X-ray and CT scan capabilities, portable ultrasound, a dedicated emergency department laboratory, three treatment bays and a triage room. Once complete, the new emergency room will improve access to timely, advanced emergency care in a growing area of Pasco County where nearby options are limited. 

The new emergency department is designed to support a wide range of medical needs — from minor injuries to life-threatening emergencies — while reducing travel time for patients and first responders. The facility is expected to create approximately 35 new jobs and strengthen the region’s health care infrastructure. 

Local and state leaders joined AdventHealth executives at the ceremony, recognizing the project as an important investment in both community health and economic growth for West Pasco County. 

The facility was designed by HuntonBrady Architects with a focus on patient-centered care and operational efficiency, and construction is being led by Batson-Cook Construction, whose teams bring extensive experience in healthcare development.
