Broward Health leadership and city officials cut the ribbon at the Broward Health Sunrise ER

Broward Health leadership and physicians, elected officials and the community recently gathered to celebrate the opening of the freestanding Broward Health Sunrise Emergency Room that offers quicker access to high-quality treatment and often shorter wait times for residents in western Broward County.

This is the first freestanding emergency room in the City of Sunrise and is the second Broward Health has opened in June. The first freestanding emergency room opened in the City of Lighthouse Point earlier this month. Together, the new freestanding emergency departments reflect Broward Health’s ongoing commitment to bringing lifesaving care closer to the communities it serves.

The new 16,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art Broward Health Sunrise ER delivers the same level of expert care as a hospital-based emergency department, with the convenience of a neighborhood location.

Open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year, the Broward Health Sunrise ER is fully licensed to provide emergency care for adults and children. Key features include 15 private exam rooms, dedicated resuscitation rooms and advanced diagnostic imaging, including X-ray and CT services for both adult and pediatric patients. Individuals requiring hospitalization or specialized treatment will be seamlessly transferred to Broward Health’s integrated network of hospitals, physicians and specialty services. Broward Health anticipates that nearly 15,000 emergency patients will be treated at the new facility annually.

The freestanding emergency room was designed by HKS Architects, built by Skanska and developed with Concord Healthcare Development serving as the owner’s representative.
