Cleveland Clinic in Florida opened a new West Palm Beach office at the CityPlace Tower on Monday.
The nonprofit, which has its Florida hospital in Weston, will have 30 employees and a host of advanced medical imagining equipment in the 25,000 square feet. That includes eight full-time doctors. With some doctors rotating up from Weston, 11 specialties will be covered, CEO Dr. Bernardo Fernandez said.
“This office is in reaction to the many years of patients traveling down here from northern Florida,” he said.
Radiologists at the Weston facility will read images taken in West Palm Beach. Surgeries will be referred to the Weston hospital, which will run on the same medical record system.
As for Cleveland Clinic in Florida’s local hospital, there’s been a dip in elective and cosmetic procedures because of the economy, but demand in other areas remains strong, Fernandez said. Plans are under way for future expansion in Weston, he added.
