Jupiter, FL | 2023

Rendina Healthcare Real Estate announced the successful opening of multiple Emergency and Urgent Care Centers developed in partnership with UF Health and other project partners in Jacksonville, Florida. These state-of-the-art facilities expand access to high-quality emergency and immediate care services across northeast Florida.

The UF Health Emergency and Urgent Care Centers represent a hybrid model of care that integrates full emergency services with urgent care capabilities under one roof, delivering efficient and patient-centric treatment for conditions ranging from minor injuries to more serious medical needs. Each facility is staffed by emergency medicine specialists and equipped with advanced diagnostic tools, including imaging services and laboratory testing, to support rapid evaluation and effective treatment.

The centers opened throughout 2023 with staggered grand openings: UF Health Emergency and Urgent Care Center – Baymeadows began seeing patients on March 7, UF Health Emergency and Urgent Care Center – Dunn Avenue opened on April 6, and UF Health Emergency and Urgent Care Center – Lane Avenue began operations on April 18.

“Our collaboration with UF Health Jacksonville and Intuitive Health is rooted in a shared commitment to expanding convenient, high-quality emergency and urgent care,” said Richard M. Rendina, Chief Executive Officer of Rendina Healthcare Real Estate. “These centers are designed to address the diverse needs of the community by offering timely, appropriate care in modern, accessible facilities. We are proud to add these important resources to the health care landscape in Jacksonville and northeast Florida.”

The hybrid emergency and urgent care model reduces unnecessary emergency department utilization while ensuring that patients receive the level of care that best suits their condition. By providing both emergency and urgent care services in a single location, the centers help streamline patient experience and improve operational efficiency for the health system.

Rendina led the development of the projects and worked closely with Intuitive Health, who pioneered the combined emergency and urgent care model, and UF Health Jacksonville to deliver facilities that emphasize accessibility, quality, and patient satisfaction.

The opening of these centers marks a significant milestone in Rendina’s continued support of innovative health care real estate development and reinforces the firm’s role in advancing ambulatory care infrastructure in key markets nationwide.
