Baptist Health Sunrise Hospital hosted a groundbreaking ceremony to mark the start of construction of the new facility. The planned seven-story, 340,000-square-foot facility is expected to open to patients in 2029, expanding access to care for residents of Sunrise and western Broward County. The hospital is designed as a modern, future-ready campus incorporating advanced medical technology, sustainable design features and a focus on patient-centered care.

• 100 inpatient beds once at full capacity, including 10 critical care beds, with room to expand 
• A 30-bed emergency department with three triage areas and 24/7 emergency care 
• Four surgical suites with robotic-assisted capabilities, with capacity for future expansion 
• A 25,000-square-foot medical office building for outpatient and specialty services 
• 1,080 parking spaces across a five-story parking garage and surface lots 
• A 15-acre conservation easement to protect nearby wetlands and local biodiversity
