Fort Lauderdale, Florida (June 30, 2026) \u2013 A major investment in Fort Lauderdale\u2019s healthcare future is underway. Holy Cross Health broke ground on the $57.3 million Holy Cross Health Center & Emergency Care \u2013 Fort Lauderdale at Sunrise that will expand access to emergency, specialty and diagnostic care for residents and visitors across the region.<\/p>\n

Phase one of the nearly 45,000 square-foot campus is expected to open in Spring 2027, bringing 24\/7 emergency care, advanced imaging and multispecialty physician services to 200 E. Sunrise Blvd. The campus will span two 22,416 square-foot floors, with the second floor opening in a future phase as Holy Cross Health expands services to meet the community\u2019s growing needs. Once fully operational, the campus is expected to care for more than 73,000 patients annually.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve been part of this community for many years, and we\u2019ve seen how Fort Lauderdale continues to grow,\u201d said Pierre Monice, MBA, FACHE, President and CEO of Holy Cross Health. \u201cWe\u2019re not just turning soil or building a new facility. We\u2019re creating more opportunities for people to get the care they need without putting it off because it\u2019s too far away or too difficult to reach.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Fort Lauderdale campus is the second Holy Cross Health Center & Emergency Care location in Broward County, following the opening of the Deerfield Beach campus earlier this year. Together, the two locations reflect Holy Cross Health\u2019s\u00a0commitment\u00a0to bringing emergency,\u00a0specialty\u00a0and outpatient care beyond its main campus and into more communities across the county.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen people see a groundbreaking, they see the start of construction,\u201d said Brea Elles, Director of Planning, Design and Construction at Holy Cross Health. \u201cI see the patients and families who will one day walk through these doors. That\u2019s what has guided this project from the very beginning.\u201d<\/p>\n

With MPL Construction leading development, the project now enters its next chapter. As the campus takes shape, it will not only expand healthcare services for the community but also create approximately 120 health care jobs during phase one, with more than 200 positions anticipated as future phases are completed. In time, what is now a construction site will become part of the Fort Lauderdale community\u2014a place where neighbors know they can turn when it matters most.<\/p>\n
