Baptist spends $10M on Nine Mile, not West Moreno

Baptist Health Care announced it has invested $10 million in a second combined emergency room and urgent care location at its Baptist Medical Park–Nine Mile, 9400 University Parkway.

Last fall, the healthcare system relocated from its “legacy campus” on West Moreno Street to a $650-million complex on Brent Lane near I-110.

Press Release: Baptist Emergency Room & Urgent Care is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with emergency medicine-trained physicians and nurses. Each patient will be assessed by a clinician and then treated through the appropriate care path. Patients can expect:

• No appointments; walk-in only convenience
• Shorter wait times
• On-site CT, X-ray, ultrasound, and labs
• Will see a board-certified, ER-trained physician at every visit
• Only pay for the level of care you need
• Lower cost of services: 70% of patients are billed at urgent care levels
• Services are considered in-network with most major insurances, including all Medicare plans

“Baptist was the first to bring the combined hybrid ER/urgent care model to the area in 2019. Our first location opened at Baptist Medical Park – Navarre, and patients tell us they love the ease and convenience it offers,” said Brett Aldridge, chief operating officer and executive vice president of Baptist Health Care.

In addition to the new ER and urgent care center, Baptist Medical Park- Nine Mile continues to offer primary care, internal medicine, specialty services, lab, diagnostic imaging, pharmacy and Andrews Institute rehabilitation services.

The addition of this innovative combined emergency room and urgent care represents a $10 million renovation investment to better serve Pensacola and its surrounding communities. Sixty new jobs will be created, adding to the existing team members at Baptist Medical Park – Nine Mile.
