UF Health Jacksonville is beginning construction of its fourth emergency and urgent care center, this one on Atlantic Boulevard just west of the Intracoastal Waterway.
The facility will join similar centers that have opened in recent years on the city’s Southside, Northside and Westside.

The two-story facility, a collaboration with Dallas-based Intuitive Health, will open in just over a year with about 25,000 square feet, officials said.
“By adding a fourth location in Jacksonville, we’re making it even easier for patients and families living along the shoreline to access the right level of care, right when they need it, close to home,” Intuitive Health CEO Thom Herrmann said in a news release noting the groundbreaking.
The center will have a full emergency room and urgent care services next to a dedicated ambulance entrance. It also will have on-site X-ray, ultrasound and other imaging services, plus a laboratory.

Physicians’ offices will occupy the second floor. The center will cost an estimated $14.5 million.
UF Health’s other facilities
The new Atlantic Boulevard facility, at the base of the Intracoastal Waterway Bridge, will join UF Health’s other Jacksonville centers on Lamb Tail Lane near Baymeadows Road; 11277 New Kings Road; and 888 Lane Ave. S.
The hospital also opened two other urgent care facilities last year in St. Johns County, one in the MuraBella community near World Golf Village. The other is on the UF Health Flagler Hospital campus in St. Augustine.
