Wesley Chapel Medical Center

According to reports from The Tampa Tribune and the St. Petersburg Times, Wesley Chapel is one step closer to getting its own hospital. The 80 bed, joint venture hospital proposed by University Community Hospital and Adventist Health System was previously granted a certificate of need by the state of Florida. A proposed competing hospital by Baycare was denied its request at that time and filed suit. Now, the judge hearing the case has ruled in favor of UCH and Adventist Health System, clearing a major hurdle.

The planned hospital is proposed to be built on Wiregrass Ranch property, just north of the new Wesley Chapel mall, The Shops at Wiregrass with an estimated cost of $122 million.
