Care that keeps up with our community

South Broward is growing and so is the demand for specialized, compassionate care. This expansion ensures that residents across our community continue to have access to exceptional healthcare without traveling far from home. It's an investment in more than a building. It's an investment in your family, your neighbors, and the generations to come.

The new tower brings meaningful upgrades that will directly improve your experience as a patient, family member, or visitor.

Here's what it means for you:

  • 21 state-of-the-art operating rooms: Expanded prep and recovery areas to help reduce wait times and support a smoother surgical experience.
  • New main lobby: A reimagined arrival experience that is calmer, easier to navigate, and more welcoming from the moment you arrive.
  • 150 private, acuity-adaptable beds: Designed to adjust with your care needs, offering more privacy and supporting a better recovery.
  • New CT suite and satellite pharmacy: Located closer to intensive care units to help enable faster, more coordinated care when every minute matters.

Preview What’s Coming

We'll stay open  and keep you informed

Memorial Regional Hospital will remain fully operational throughout every phase of construction. Our team has carefully planned the work to minimize disruption for patients, visitors, and neighbors.

No services are closing or being reduced. Emergency Departments at Memorial Regional Hospital and Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital, along with the Medical Office Buildings, remain open and continue to provide care as usual.
