Arlington, TN | January 31, 2023

Rendina Healthcare Real Estate and Baptist Memorial Health Care celebrated the grand opening of the Baptist Arlington Emergency Department, a new freestanding emergency department and medical office building located in Arlington, Tennessee. The project represents Baptist Memorial Health Care’s first freestanding emergency department in West Tennessee and the first of its kind in Shelby County.

Located at 5150 Airline Road, the approximately 38,000 square foot facility includes a freestanding emergency department and medical office space supporting primary care, imaging, and specialty services. The eight room emergency department is a department of Baptist Memorial Hospital–Memphis and is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. On site services include laboratory testing, X ray, ultrasound, and CT imaging to support timely diagnosis and treatment.

More than 100 medical and clinical staff members, community leaders, elected officials, and hospital supporters attended the grand opening celebration, which included a ribbon cutting ceremony and guided tours of the new facility. The emergency department began accepting patients shortly after the event. Primary and walk in care services through Baptist Medical Group were scheduled to begin February 1, with additional physician practices opening later in 2023.

Rendina served as the developer and owner of the facility, leading the real estate strategy, development, and delivery of the project. The building was designed by E4H, with construction management services provided by Flintco Construction.

“Rendina is proud to partner with Baptist Memorial Health Care on its expansion efforts across Tennessee,” said Richard M. Rendina, Chief Executive Officer of Rendina Healthcare Real Estate. “The Baptist Arlington facility is a key component of an advanced ambulatory strategy that meets today’s emergency and primary care needs while providing flexibility to expand alongside one of the region’s fastest growing communities.”

The facility features eight patient treatment rooms, comfortable waiting areas, a trauma treatment space, an isolation room for patients with potentially infectious diseases, a decontamination room, and a private triage room for initial evaluations. Care is provided by a highly trained emergency medicine and nursing team, serving both adult and pediatric patients.

Conveniently located near Interstate 40, Baptist Arlington Emergency Department improves access to emergency care for residents between Bartlett and Jackson, Tennessee, filling a critical gap in hospital-based services across the region.
