BayCare Hospital Wesley Chapel Set To Open On March 7!

BayCare Hospital Wesley Chapel, an 86bed, state-of-the-art hospital, is set to open to at least emergency room patients on on Tuesday, March 7.

The new hospital held a VIP tour of the new facility on Feb. 4, which included a ribbon-cutting ceremony, featuring Pasco County Commissioner Seth Weightman and North Tampa Bay Chamber CEO Hope Kennedy, as well as both the new hospital’s leadership team and top administrators from throughout the BayCare family of hospitals.

There also has been a community Open House, which was held after we went to press with this issue on on Feb. 18, as hundreds of locals were allowed to tour the new facility. The hospital, located on Bruce B. Downs just south of S.R. 54, will be Wesley Chapel’s second major hospital, joining AdventHealth Wesley Chapel, which is located only two miles or so south of BayCare.
