Holy Cross Health is set to open a new $41 million freestanding emergency room facility, the Holy Cross Health Center-Deerfield, in May 2025. The 25,000-square-foot facility will provide 24/7 emergency care, imaging services, and other specialty care to residents in Deerfield Beach, Pompano Beach, Boca Raton, and surrounding communities in north Broward County.
Why it matters
The new Holy Cross facility is part of a growing trend of freestanding emergency rooms opening along Federal Highway in north Broward, aiming to expand access to emergency and specialized medical services for local residents. This comes as the region's population continues to grow and age, increasing demand for convenient healthcare options.
The details
The Holy Cross Health Center-Deerfield will feature a 24/7 emergency department with a dedicated ambulance bay, as well as on-site laboratory and advanced imaging capabilities including CT, ultrasound, and X-ray. The facility will also offer private treatment rooms, clinical exam rooms, and a 'coastal-inspired' patient-focused design. The $41 million project broke ground in November 2024 and is on track to open its doors in May 2025.
