The St. Joe Company (NYSE: JOE) (“St. Joe”) and Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare (TMH) recently announced the opening of the first building at the FSU/TMH Medical Campus in Panama City Beach, Florida. TMH Urgent Care and TMH Physician Partners – Primary Care opened to patients in the newly constructed medical office building located at 1002 N. Arnold Road (Highway 79). The building is the first of several planned for the 87-acre campus being jointly planned and developed by St. Joe, TMH and Florida State University.
“Because we are a nonprofit healthcare system, we are responsive to the needs of our region,” said Andrew Starr, Vice President and Chief Health Operations Officer, who will oversee TMH’s operations in Panama City Beach. “One of the things we’ve heard loud and clear is that there is a great need for healthcare in this area. We are happy to be open, and we are ready to bring high quality, locally governed care to the community.”
An ambulatory surgery center and cardiology services are anticipated to be operational in the medical office building this fall. Future plans include a 100-bed hospital with an emergency center and other inpatient services including surgery, cardiology procedures and imaging, anticipated to be complete in 2027.
“The economic growth and vitality of Northwest Florida is affected by a variety of factors, one of those being the health and well-being of our residents and visitors,” said Jorge Gonzalez, CEO of St. Joe. “While meeting a critical need for more healthcare options, our collaboration with TMH and FSU has the potential to create dynamic synergies between research, education and clinical delivery that we are confident will have a positive and powerful impact on the entire region.”
