The South Broward Hospital District Board of Commissioners, elected officials, community leaders and other stakeholders recently celebrated the new Memorial Healthcare System Douglas Road ER with a ribbon-cutting ceremony. The event marked the transformation of Memorial’s longtime 24/7 Care Center into a larger, more advanced freestanding emergency room that expands access to high-level emergency care for residents of Broward and Miami-Dade counties.
The new freestanding emergency room officially opens to the public in August 2026. The expanded 30,000-square-foot facility was designed to provide rapid emergency care for adults and children while remaining fully connected to Memorial Healthcare System’s network of hospitals, specialists and follow-up care services.
Unlike urgent care centers, Douglas Road ER is a licensed emergency department of Memorial Hospital Pembroke, equipped to provide advanced diagnostics, initial trauma stabilization and emergency care 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
The facility features 41 treatment spaces, including 18 private adult treatment rooms, four dedicated pediatric treatment rooms, 16 fast-track rooms, five triage bays, a trauma and resuscitation room, a dedicated procedure room, a bariatric room and a quiet room. Advanced imaging capabilities include 24-hour CT scans, X-rays and ultrasound, along with a full-service on-site laboratory to support fast, efficient emergency evaluation and treatment.
