New Urgent Care Center Passes Planning Board

Naples Community Hospital’s (NCH) plans for a replacement to the almost four-decade-old facility it has been operating on the island during that time were introduced at the October 6 meeting of the Marco Island Planning Board which gave the plans an enthusiastic thumbs up.

The new facility was part of an all-encompassing deal struck when the Chancey Group, the developer of a new Assisted Living Facility agreed to purchase the property from NCH. As part of that purchase, NCH agreed to reinvest those dollars into a new state-of-the-art urgent care facility for residents of the island. 

The old Urgent Care Facility will remain in operation until completion of the new 25,000 square foot two-story facility, which will be built upon another section of the property, at which time the old facility will be demolished. The facility which presently houses the NCH Rehabilitation Offices will be refreshed as part of this close to $18,000,000 plan.

Plans will now go before the building department for its review and the permitting process. It is anticipated that construction should begin by summer of 2024 on the project.
