Ready to Grow with the Community

Plenty of space on campus means plenty of room to expand to meet the growing needs of the community for years to come.

With the opening of the 4th & 5th floors of a third patient care tower in April 2024, 68 private patient suites were added to ease capacity constraints and decrease the need to transfer and admit patient to the SMH-Sarasota Campus. The second floor of the tower with an additional 34 private suites is planned to open by the end of 2024. The ground level includes space for additional patient care and support services in the future, while the third level is interstitial space for mechanical systems. 

Construction is also well under way on a 30,000-square-foot expansion of SMH-Venice's Emergency Center. When complete at the end of 2024, the ER will more then double in size from 28 rooms to 61, and include enhancements to registration and support areas and increased imaging capabilities.
