Florida Medical Center to Expand with New ASC

The outpatient facility will be added to an existing medical office building on the hospital's campus.

Published on Mar. 2, 2026

Port St. Lucie-based Florida Coast Medical Center has announced plans to expand its outpatient capabilities with the addition of an ambulatory surgery center (ASC) later in 2026. The ASC will be located on the second floor of a medical office building and multispecialty center adjacent to the hospital's main campus.

Why it matters

The expansion into outpatient surgical services allows Florida Coast Medical Center to meet growing demand for convenient, high-quality care options in the Palm Beach region. ASCs have become an increasingly important part of the healthcare landscape, offering patients more affordable and accessible alternatives to traditional hospital-based procedures.

The details

The new medical office building and multispecialty center already houses several physician practices, including Independence ENT, Stuart Cardiology, and the Palm Beach Neuroscience Institute in conjunction with Palm Beach Health Network Physician Group. The addition of the ASC on the second floor will further expand the range of outpatient services available to the community.
