Wellington Regional to Construct Freestanding Emergency Department in Westlake
Wellington Regional Medical Center (WRMC) announced today its plans to expand access to emergency care in Central Palm Beach County with the construction of a freestanding emergency department in Westlake. The announcement comes after the hospital received approval of site plans at the City of Westlake planning and zoning meeting held on Monday, February 12, at council chambers.
Located on the east side of Seminole Pratt Whitney Road and the south side of Persimmon Boulevard East, the full-service emergency room will provide emergency care 24-hours a day, seven days a week. The new facility is expected to open in late 2018.
“We are honored and excited to be the first non-residential development in the Westlake community,” said Robbin Lee, CEO of WRMC. “By expanding our emergency services, we can better meet the needs of our growing community and provide access to emergency care where it is needed. It has been our goal to create a true emergency department by including a full complement of services, staff and technology. We will be equipped to handle everything from scrapes and sprains, to patients who are experiencing chest pain and the symptoms of a stroke.”
