The property, located between Interstate 95 and State Road 9B, is anticipated to be developed in three phases: Phase one of this project will introduce a Flagler Health+ Village that incorporates family practice, women’s care, pediatrics, urgent care, imaging and laboratory services. The health village will also include dedicated green space for healthy lifestyle programming, arts activities and community engagement.

“As St. Johns County’s leading healthcare provider for more than 130 years, Flagler Health+ is committed to furthering a sense of connectedness and community throughout all areas of this very special region, including the northernmost sector of our county,” said President & CEO Jason Barrett. “We are focused on building meaningful, seamless relationships along the journey of life and look forward to serving the growing needs of area residents.”

Longer term plans for the 40-acre health and wellness campus include a hospital, outpatient surgical services and cancer care, among others. Additional offerings will be further refined in partnership with area residents through a dedicated Durbin Park Health Advisory Council.

“We are excited that Flagler Health+ has chosen to create its Flagler Health+ Village in Durbin Park,” said Drew Frick, president of Gate Lands. “Our goal with Durbin Park is to create a distinct destination where individuals and families can live, work, shop and be entertained. The community health approach that Flagler Health+ brings to this project will further this goal by creating jobs and expanding the amenities and services available to one of the fastest growing areas in the state.”

St. Johns County’s Director of Economic Development Melissa Glasgow and St. Johns County Commissioner, James Johns also support the project.

“We are thrilled to see a full-service, state-of-the art health and wellness campus included in the plans for Durbin Park,” stated Glasgow. “As one of St. Johns County’s largest employers, we are pleased that Flagler Health+ continues to invest significant resources to support our growing community and bolster our status as Florida’s Healthiest County.”

“I am supportive of this endeavor, which will employ our residents, reduce commute times for critical services and blend well with surrounding developments,” added Johns, who represents Durbin Park’s district. Construction is anticipated to begin in 2020.
