Description: West Kendall Baptist Hospital is a teaching hospital with surgical, emergency, maternity and diagnostic units. The hospital represents the first completely new, non-replacement hospital built in Miami in more than 35 years.
West Kendall Baptist Hospital was built to withstand a Category 5 hurricane with winds of 180 mph. The building is self-sustainable for a minimum of five days following a severe weather event.
The West Kendall Baptist Hospital campus will house a freestanding, four-story, 63,000 square-foot building for physician offices with an outpatient diagnostic and imaging center on the first floor. This building will be adjacent to the hospital.
