On February 13, at noon, Ocala Health will hold a ribbon cutting ceremony for the Trailwinds Village ER at 6131 Seven Mile Drive in Wildwood.
The new, 24/7 full service freestanding emergency department will feature 11 emergency room beds and will be capable of caring for all ages, including pediatrics. The 11,630-square-foot, one-story facility will front 466A. The freestanding ER is expected to serve more than 11,500 patients a year. The $13 million project will employ approximately 30 full-time healthcare professionals.
As a means to improve access to local high-quality care, this will be Ocala Health's third freestanding emergency department. Ocala Health opened its first freestanding emergency department in Summerfield (Summerfield ER) in October 2016 and is currently building a second freestanding emergency department (Maricamp ER) on Maricamp Road in Ocala which will open later this year.
