The Sarasota County Public Hospital Board recently approved plans to build a $450 million hospital in North Port. It will be on North Sumter Boulevard near Interstate 75.

Expected to open in 2028, the North Port hospital will be six stories and include 100 beds with room for growth, according to a statement from Sarasota Memorial Health Care System. It will mark the third acute-care hospital for the health care system, which operates campuses in Sarasota and Venice.

“Building a hospital in North Port has been part of our strategic plan and goals for many years, and I could not be more excited to break ground in 2025 during our centennial year,” Sarasota Memorial Health Care System President and CEO David Verinder says in a Jan. 28 statement.
