Palm Beach Gardens, FL (March 28, 2023) — Universal Health Services (NYSE: UHS) today held a celebratory groundbreaking ceremony for the new full-service hospital to be located on Pasteur Blvd. in Palm Beach Gardens. The new state-of-the-art hospital is expected to open in 2025 and will join UHS’ growing regional network of healthcare operations which includes Wellington Regional Medical Center, the ER at Westlake (an extension of Wellington Regional Medical Center), Wellington Physicians Urgent Care and other healthcare services and access points.

According to the U.S. Census, Palm Beach Gardens is growing at an annual rate of 1.75% and its population has increased by 5.44% since the most recent census which recorded a population of over 59,000 in 2020. This growth will increase the demand for healthcare services to serve patients.

The name of the new hospital, unveiled today, is the Alan B. Miller Medical Center, named after the Founder and Executive Chairman of UHS.

The Alan B. Miller Medical Center will feature 150 private patient rooms, a medical office building and a helistop. Upon completion of the initial phase of the project, the hospital campus will include 365,000 square feet of hospital and medical office space. The Alan B. Miller Medical Center will offer comprehensive medical services including Emergency Care, Orthopedics and Surgical Services, Labor and Delivery, Neonatal Intensive Care, Oncology, Cardiovascular and Neurosurgical services. In addition, the campus will be home to medical office buildings that will provide outpatient services.

During construction, the project will create an estimated 1,500 jobs indirectly and when fully open, the hospital will provide an estimated 800 new healthcare jobs. The Alan B. Miller Medical Center will improve access to healthcare, offer more choices for patients, and serve as an extension of the quality care already offered within the Palm Beach Gardens region.

Miller, President and CEO, Universal Health Services. “From a care perspective, we are an organization of compassionate providers that has earned a reputation over the last 40+ years as a leader in healthcare who is trusted and respected.
