Broward Health has broken ground on a new medical office building at Broward Health North, marking a major expansion of specialty and outpatient services in northern Broward County.
The project, located at 201 East Sample Road in Deerfield Beach, drew more than 100 attendees, including elected officials and community leaders from across the region, representing Deerfield Beach, Lighthouse Point and Pompano Beach.
Broward Health President and CEO Shane Strum described the groundbreaking as a key step forward for the health system.
“Yesterday’s groundbreaking marks an important milestone for Broward Health,” he said. “This facility reinforces our commitment to meeting the long-term healthcare needs of our community and to serving Broward County residents for generations to come.”
Expanding access to specialty care
The six-story, 127,033-square-foot building is scheduled to open in 2027 and represents one of Broward Health’s first major construction projects in nearly three decades.
Designed by The Beck Group in collaboration with DMZ Architects, the facility will initially include 75 exam rooms, with capacity to expand to 123 as demand increases.
Patients will have access to a range of services, including cardiovascular, neuroscience and orthopedic care, along with additional specialty clinics and physician practices. Officials say co-locating outpatient and inpatient services will improve coordination and convenience for patients.
“This medical office building represents a significant investment in the future of care at Broward Health North,” said Matt Garner. “Expanding specialty services on campus makes it easier for patients to access the care they need close to home while providing our physicians and care teams with a modern, efficient environment.”
Designed for efficiency and patient experience
The building’s design incorporates architectural elements inspired by Deerfield Beach’s signature lighthouse, reflecting the area’s coastal identity while symbolizing guidance and care.
Standardized clinic layouts will promote consistency across the Broward Health system, while flexible spaces are intended to support evolving care models and emerging technologies.
David Clark, senior vice president of operations, said the project will help streamline workflows and enhance coordination.
“The result is a more coordinated experience for patients and providers,” he noted.
Part of a broader expansion strategy
The project is being developed in partnership with Remedy Medical Properties, with DPR Construction serving as general contractor.
It is one of two major medical office developments planned by Broward Health. A second facility, along with a parking garage, is slated for the Broward Health Medical Center campus in Fort Lauderdale.
Officials say the broader initiative aims to expand specialty services, attract top medical talent and improve access to care across Broward County.
