New Calhoun Liberty Hospital Facility

Calhoun Liberty Hospital is building a brand-new facility which will provide expanded healthcare options and new jobs for Calhoun and Liberty County along with portions of Gulf and Jackson County. This multi-million-dollar capital investment is one of the largest economic development job retention and creation projects to be built in region’s history. The current facility located on NE Burns Avenue was significantly damaged in Hurricane Michael and is unable to be rebuilt to current codes and standards, requiring the new facility. The new facility will be located at 16257 State Road 71 in Blountstown, south of Highway 20. The construction of the new hospital is being funded with significant federal and state funding support including over $11 million from FEMA, $18.7 million from U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), $1 million from Florida Department of Health, and an additional $4 million through two separate appropriations from the state legislature.

Hospital Features

The hospital campus will include a one-story, approximately 50,000 square foot facility. The first phase of construction will accommodate the community’s current healthcare needs and will include:

A state-of-the-art emergency room
Eight (8) private inpatient rooms
Three (3) flexible clinical decision rooms
Rehabilitative services including physical and occupational therapy, infusion therapy, and cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation.
Ten (10) private beds for patients who require around-the-clock nursing care, including four beds with advanced bedside monitoring for patients requiring a higher level of care.

We are excited to announce that Land Clearing and Site Preparations have begun on the new site.
