Baptist Health is opening a new outpatient medical campus on Tuesday in the SilverLeaf community, aiming to expand access to primary and specialty care as western St. Johns County continues to experience rapid population growth. The facility is designed to meet the increasing demand for healthcare services in the area, which has seen a surge in new residents and families.

The campus will offer a range of services, including primary care physicians, specialists, and diagnostic imaging. Patients can also access lab services and outpatient rehabilitation at the new location. The goal is to provide comprehensive care in one convenient setting, reducing the need for residents to travel long distances for routine medical needs.

Officials from Baptist Health say the expansion reflects their commitment to keeping up with the region's development. The SilverLeaf campus is part of a broader strategy to place healthcare resources closer to where people live and work. With more neighborhoods and businesses popping up in western St. Johns County, the new facility is expected to ease the strain on existing clinics and hospitals.

The campus opens its doors to patients on Tuesday, with staff ready to handle appointments for both new and existing patients. Baptist Health plans to monitor usage and may add more services in the future based on community needs. For now, the focus is on delivering quality care in a growing part of the county.
