Health First Viera Hospital Expansion

planned

Health First plans to expand Viera Hospital by developing a new five-story patient tower and a three-story medical office building to double the hospital's licensed bed capacity from 98 to 214. The expansion includes 64 new inpatient beds with shell space for 32 more, two operating rooms with shell space for two additional rooms, doubling the emergency department capacity, a cardiac catheterization lab with shell space for another, a 10-bed clinical decision unit, and expanded imaging and support areas. Short-term improvements include adding 20 inpatient beds by spring 2026, expanding operating rooms from six to eight by December 2025, and installing a new CT scanner at the nearby Viera Medical Plaza by March 2026.
