AdventHealth Zephyrhills leaders break ground on new medical office building as Pasco County growth booms

ZEPHYRHILLS, Fla., Aug. 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- AdventHealth is growing once again in Pasco County with plans to construct a new medical office building on the AdventHealth Zephyrhills campus. This facility will provide nearly 35,000 square feet of additional space for new and employed physicians, while offering patients more high-quality health care options close to home. 

The groundbreaking ceremony took place on Friday, August 29 and reflects the growing needs of the area that AdventHealth Zephyrhills has proudly served for 40 years. The facility will house Primary Care and multiple specialty physician offices, including cardiology, gastroenterology, general surgery and urology.

This comes as Pasco County projects a 40 percent increase in population by 2045, with most of the employment and population growth expected to happen within the center of the County in the South and Central Market Areas.

"AdventHealth Zephyrhills has been part of this community for 40 years, and we're intentionally planning and building for the future," said Mike Murrill, president and CEO of AdventHealth Zephyrhills. "This new space will allow us to recruit additional top physicians and provide them with the resources they need to deliver the highest quality of care. As our community grows, we remain committed to helping our neighbors heal and feel whole, close to where we live, work and play." 

This new medical office building will be just the latest in a series of recent investments AdventHealth has made across Pasco County. 

Later this year, AdventHealth Wesley Chapel will open its expanded three-story North Wing and two-story South Courtyard Infill. The expansion will increase the hospital's licensed beds from 169 to 193, with room for two more 24-bed units in the future. 

AdventHealth also recently opened the AdventHealth Meadow Pointe ER with 12 patient beds, two triage rooms and imaging and lab services, as well as a pediatric-friendly room. The new ER brought more than two dozen jobs to the area. 

AdventHealth Sports Med and Rehab Zephyrhills also officially opened its doors in May 2025. The clinic is equipped to handle the growing rehabilitation needs of the East Pasco community, from injury recovery to post-surgical therapy and beyond.  

AdventHealth Zephyrhills also recently unveiled a newly renovated Electrophysiology (EP) Lab, continuing AdventHealth's commitment to delivering leading-edge cardiovascular care. 

AdventHealth is partnering with HuntonBrady Architects, an architecture and interior design firm, on this project as well as builders, Robins & Morton. 

"The groundbreaking of the AdventHealth Zephyrhills Medical Office Building marks an exciting milestone in our long-term partnership with AdventHealth," Robins & Morton Division Manager Todd Watson said. "We are honored to help bring this new facility to life as it expands access to high-quality healthcare for our community. We look forward to seeing the lasting, positive impact it will have for years to come."

Construction is expected to be completed in fall 2026.
