AdventHealth and construction firm Robins & Morton celebrated the topping out of the new Freytag Medical Plaza at AdventHealth Palm Coast on March 19.
The two-story, 30,000-square-foot standalone facility will serve as a vital hub for comprehensive cancer treatment, including radiation oncology and medical oncology, and will offer advanced therapies, personalized cancer care, and resources for patients and their families.
It will also house multiple primary care physician offices and provide adult rehabilitation services, including outpatient physical, occupational and speech language pathology for orthopedic, hand, neurological, and lymphedema specialties.
“This new facility is a testament to our $30 million investment into a blossoming community around us,” said Denyse Bales-Chubb, President and CEO for AdventHealth Palm Coast and the Flagler and St. Johns market. “For the first time in nearly 70 years, Florida was named the fastest-growing state by the U.S. Census Bureau, and that’s something we are experiencing in Flagler County too. The good news is, as an organization, AdventHealth has invested in significant expansion plans across our entire system, and locally, we are committed to continuously growing with our community to create new ways to access medical care.”
“We are excited to reach this milestone and look forward to working toward the completion of this important facility,” said Robins & Morton Operations Manager Angel Colon. “This medical plaza will provide a lasting, positive impact on the Palm Coast and Flagler County communities for years to come.”
The Medical Plaza is set to open in early 2025.
Robins & Morton is serving as the construction manager. HuntonBrady is the architect for the project.

Wonderful news…however, in those medical specialties listed for the new facility….notice NO maternity or high risk pregnancy services, no pediatric or child specialist services
Medical planners state there isn’t the specialty population to support those services in Flagler Country….but if we are going to FINANCIALLY survive, Flagler CO must have the services to attract and retain YOUNG FAMILIES… there are limited to NO maternity or pediatric emergency care in the area.. you have to drive or be airlifted to Jacksonville…and you better not be involved in a highway or other trauma requiring advanced service from 12 midnight—> 6 am, because there is so staffing for helicopter medical evacuation services then. It has to be GROUND level ambulance transportation ( taking 2-3 x as long)…when MINUTES count!
As a Masters prepared Clinical Nurse Specialist and Certified Nurse CASE MANAGER recently retired from a major East Coast University Teaching Hospital system, I can tell you that for other than Primary Care, my Cardiology services will be done in Jacksonville…Palm Coast area Specialty services, are ADEQUATE, but not STELLAR!
If we want a financial tax base of young families (not just limited income retirees)…we have to develops the services that attract Young Families…currently, Flagler County is floundering it it’s LONGEVITY planning.

Perhaps why healthcare premiums & procedures just keep going up for everything else including cancer ? Not against a cure, but there is no cure, just more cases to be treated ?
