WESLEY CHAPEL, Fla. — Florida Hospital Wesley Chapel will begin construction this year on a $78 million expansion that will nearly double the size of patient rooms, operating rooms and emergency rooms.

“Florida Hospital Wesley Chapel was originally designed with the ability to grow with the needs of the community,” said Chief Medical Officer Robert Rosequist in a statement. “Since opening less than three years ago, the hospital has experienced extremely high volumes of patients seeking care.”
