Bethesda Hospital West

With South Florida’s growing population, health care facilities are an essential component to developing a quality, livable community. Because of various state and county regulations, building a new hospital requires years of planning and coordination.

When Bethesda Healthcare Systems, Inc. decided to build a new 58.77 acre hospital and medical office building located west of Boynton Beach, Florida, within unincorporated Palm Beach County, they selected Urban Design Studio. As the future hospital is located within the County’s Agricultural Reserve Tier, UDS cultivated the support of the Coalition of Boynton West Residential Associations (COBWRA) for the Bethesda West Hospital campus. The campus, initially consisting of a 206,000 square foot hospital and a 48,000 square foot medical office building, will be developed compatible with the goals, objectives and design considerations of the area’s development patterns.
