HCA Florida Gainesville Emergency: a new freestanding emergency room is now open

HCA Florida North Florida Hospital announces the opening of a new freestanding emergency room as part of HCA Florida Healthcare’s continued expansion across the state. Now open and ready to serve patients, HCA Florida Gainesville Emergency, a 13,000-square-foot facility at 4094 SW 41^st Boulevard, next to I-75 and Celebration Pointe, provides a full range of medical services for children and adults. 

This new, state-of-the-art ER will be staffed with board-certified emergency medicine physicians and nurses, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, just like an emergency room that is housed within the walls of a hospital. Physicians and colleagues will treat a range of general and specific conditions including infections, chest pain and broken bones. 

“HCA Florida Gainesville Emergency is another extension of the care-like-family approach we are known for here in the north central Florida community,” said Eric Lawson, chief executive officer of HCA Florida North Florida Hospital. “The ER’s location off I-75 and Archer Road make it a convenient access point for long-time residents and visitors alike. Our team is incredibly excited to be able to serve our community with world-class emergency care at this beautiful new facility.” 

HCA Florida Gainesville Emergency will enable HCA Florida Healthcare to offer patient-centered, high-quality care to more Floridians and expand access to HCA Florida Healthcare’s advanced treatments, innovative technologies and experienced care teams. 

Designed to meet the community’s growing health care needs, HCA Florida Gainesville Emergency will feature:

• 11 private treatment rooms
• CT capabilities
• Digital ultrasound
• Digital diagnostic & portable X-rays
• On-site laboratory 

Care Like Family, 24/7/365 

Patients visiting HCA Florida Gainesville Emergency can expect the same level of care as a hospital-based emergency department. Should the patient require in-patient treatment, HCA Florida Gainesville Emergency is part of a leading healthcare network across the state, including hospitals, physician practices and specialty care throughout Florida to create a connected and collaborative healthcare experience for patients and their families. 

“Gainesville continues to grow, and HCA Florida Gainesville Emergency is just one way we are growing with our community,” said Lawson. “Our community can expect to receive the advanced and compassionate care they deserve at HCA Florida Gainesville Emergency.”
