'We're building not just a structure, but a place where people can come for expert care, trusted guidance, and long-term wellness support.'
Miami-based Vilar Hoynack Construction is the general contractor.

'The communities we serve are growing rapidly, and so are their healthcare needs,' said Dr. Jack Ziffer, executive VP and chief clinical officer of Baptist Health.
