Designed by HKS and built by Skanska USA, the newly opened emergency department spans more than 178,000 square feet and replaces two former buildings that were demolished to make way for the expanded facility. The project doubles the emergency department\u2019s previous footprint as part of a long-term modernization of one of the nation\u2019s largest public healthcare campuses.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-40832\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Jackson-Health-ED_Photo-Credit_Tom-Harris_011-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1608\"  \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Credit: Tom Harris<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-40836\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Jackson-Health-ED_Photo-Credit_Tom-Harris_007-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1833\"  \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Credit: Tom Harris<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-40833\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Jackson-Health-ED_Photo-Credit_Tom-Harris_010-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1879\"  \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Credit: Tom Harris<\/p>\n<p>The first phase introduces 60 general examination rooms, four resuscitation rooms, six triage rooms, and 12 fast-track treatment rooms intended to improve patient throughput and reduce wait times. A dedicated second floor houses 50 observation rooms and seven acute care rooms, while the expanded department also includes a full in-house radiology suite with MRI, CT, X-ray, and ultrasound services, as well as an on-site pharmacy for rapid medication dispensing.
