Jackson, TN | November 2023

Rendina Healthcare Real Estate, Baptist Memorial Health Care, and The Jackson Clinic celebrated the grand opening of The Jackson Clinic–Baptist Outpatient Campus, a first-of-its-kind outpatient medical campus in Jackson, Tennessee. The two-story, $80 million development significantly expands access to advanced outpatient surgery and specialty care services for patients throughout West Tennessee.

Located at 145 and 155 Innovation Drive near the intersection of the 45 Bypass and Passmore Lane, the 155,000 square foot campus brings together comprehensive outpatient surgery, diagnostic services, physician practices, and patient amenities in a single, integrated setting. Nearly 200 guests, including community leaders, physicians, and healthcare partners, attended the grand opening celebration on November 6.

Rendina served as the developer of the project, leading the real estate strategy, planning, design coordination, and construction execution in collaboration with Baptist Memorial Health Care, The Jackson Clinic, and Flintco.

The campus includes a 51,000 square foot outpatient surgery department managed by Baptist Memorial Health Care, featuring eight operating rooms, eight post anesthesia care units, two endoscopy rooms, a vascular lab, and 34 pre- and post-procedure beds, including dedicated pediatric recovery rooms. The first floor also includes diagnostic services, patient support spaces, and retail amenities, while the second floor houses 136 patient exam rooms supporting a wide range of medical specialties.

“We are pleased to join The Jackson Clinic as we expand our presence in West Tennessee,” said Jason Little, President and Chief Executive Officer of Baptist Memorial Health Care. “Working closely with our partners, we designed a patient friendly campus that combines advanced technology, clinical excellence, and comfort amenities. There is nothing else like this outpatient surgery facility in Jackson, and it represents an important advancement in outpatient care for the region.”

The campus supports a broad array of services, including outpatient surgery specialties such as cardiology, ear nose and throat, general surgery, OB-GYN, plastic surgery, podiatry, and urology, serving patients as young as two years old. Additional offerings include audiology, cardiac testing, infusion services, ophthalmology, physical therapy, women’s imaging, and an on-site retail pharmacy.

“The Jackson Clinic–Baptist Outpatient Campus represents the future of healthcare delivery,” said Mark Allen, Chief Executive Officer of The Jackson Clinic. “Through our collaboration with Baptist, Rendina, and Flintco, we have created a modern outpatient environment that integrates leading medical design, technology, and clinical advancements. This campus delivers a seamless patient experience and supports high quality outcomes.”

The campus opened in phases, with The Jackson Clinic beginning operations in mid-November and Baptist’s outpatient surgery department opening in December 2023.

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.
