The 86,676-square-foot, three-story hospital on Goodlette-Frank Road in Naples will specialize in wound care, rehabilitation and mechanical ventilation. The 50-bed hospital will also offer care for patients following strokes, surgery or cardiac events, according to Stevens Construction.

Construction is schedule to begin early next year and the architect on the project is HuntonBrady Architects. The state awarded Landmark Hospital of Southwest Florida its certificate of need to operate in February.

The first floor of the building will be available for lease. The second floor will accommodate operating rooms and administrative offices. The third floor will have 50 beds, including 10 intensive-care beds.

Missouri-based Landmark operates five long-term, acute-care hospitals that care for patients whose average length of stay is 25 days or longer.
