Leon Medical Centers Chairman and Founder Benjamin León, Jr., elected officials and community leaders held a project commencement ceremony to officially kick off the work on a state-of-the-art Leon Medical Centers in Homestead. The multi-million dollar facility is expected to generate around 200 jobs and provide a much needed option to meet the demands of a growing population moving into the area. The new 49,000-square-foot center promises to be one of the largest and most modern healthcare facilities in Miami-Dade County and will include primary, specialty and urgent care services, in-house pharmacy, fitness and wellness center, diagnostics, lab, dental, eyecare, and spacious waiting rooms and offices wired with the latest technology to serve the needs of the community.
“Our philosophy has always been to offer personal attention at all times by treating patients like they were our own family,” said Benjamin León, Jr. “This cutting-edge facility will provide our patients with everything they need in healthcare under one roof. They can see a doctor or dentist, get lab work, fill a prescription, get their eyesight checked, or improve their physical conditioning at our ‘Healthy Living Center,’ all while getting the attention, care and compassion that Leon Medical Centers is known for.”
Leon Medical Centers currently operates at 1440 NE 8 th Street in Homestead, which will continue to offer comprehensive services until the opening of the new supercenter.
The supercenter will be constructed at 2250 NE 8th Street, Homestead, the former address of the Flagship Cinema. The plan is to keep the walls of the structure but renovate, remodel and retrofit the interior to accommodate the medical equipment and needs of LMC. It is expected to contribute to the area’s economic development by, not only providing job opportunities, but by preserving and increasing property values. The work is scheduled to be completed by the fall of 2024.
