VIERA, Fla. \u2014 Orlando Health<\/a> announced plans Tuesday for a new hospital and medical office building in Brevard County.<\/p>\n

The project, Orlando Health Viera Hospital, will be built on a planned 40-acre health and wellness campus in Viera.<\/p>\n

The campus will be located in Borrows West between Lake Andrew Drive and Interstate 95, just south of Viera Boulevard.<\/p>\n

Orlando Health said it expects to break ground on the project in June.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is an exciting day for this region and for Orlando Health as we move forward with plans for this state-of-the-art facility,\u201d said Ohme Entin, president of Orlando Health East Region and senior vice president of Orlando Health.<\/p>\n

The project will include a new seven-story regional hospital and a three-story, 60,000-square-foot medical office building.<\/p>\n

The hospital will be built in phases, with the emergency department expected to open in fall 2027.<\/p>\n

At full buildout, the hospital is expected to have 240 beds.<\/p>\n

Orlando Health said the hospital will include emergency services, imaging, laboratory services, pharmacy, surgical suites, catheterization labs and support areas for acute care services.<\/p>\n

The medical office building will house specialty practices focused on cardiovascular health, neurosciences and other areas.<\/p>\n

Orlando Health said it currently employs more than 2,100 team members and physicians across Brevard and Indian River counties.<\/p>\n

The new Viera hospital is expected to bring more than 1,000 additional jobs to the region.<\/p>\n

Todd J. Pokrywa, president of The Viera Company, said the project reflects Viera\u2019s long-term planning around medical services and employment centers.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are honored that Orlando Health has chosen Viera as the home for this transformative investment,\u201d Pokrywa said.<\/p>\n

Orlando Health said it is working closely with The Viera Company on the project.<\/p>\n
