Baptist Medical Center Clay, a $234 million, 102-bed hospital, opened Monday on Fleming Island as the third full-service hospital in Clay County.
Among the patient comforts are the CAT scan being on the same floor as the intensive care unit,"so people don't have to take a ride," he said.
At the recent community house, some guests were crying they were so impressed with all the bells and whistles, particularly with the neonatal intensive care unit.Clay County leaders also appreciate that Baptist Clay is the only locally owned, locally governed, not-for-profit hospital in the county. "Decisions about Baptist Clay are made locally by people who know and understand our community," said Deborah Pass-Durham, board chairwoman for Baptist Clay. She grew up in Clay County and is founder and principal at Potentiae, a business consulting firm, and former president of ATS Services, a national employment services company. "We are entrenched in the community and shape our decisions based on local residents’ needs.
Construction began in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic, which led to"preventive measures that were incorporated into the hospital design," according to Baptist Health. They are: To maximize infection control, fourth-floor intensive care unit rooms can quickly be switched to negative pressure, a ventilation technique. That prevents contaminated air or other dangerous particles from entering non-contaminated areas.Baptist Clay has its own central energy plant, a generator that operate"off the grid" when needed.The hospital is at U.S. 17 and Village Square Parkway, 1771 Baptist Clay Drive, in Fleming Island.
