Pace ER
Santa Rosa Medical Center wants to make sure you have convenient access to emergency care, regardless of where you are. That’s why we have expanded our emergency services to Pace.
In one of the fastest growing communities in Northwest Florida, Pace ER provides access to needed services for our local residents and visitors.
This facility is located at the corner of Hwy 90 and Woodbine Road, and like any ER, is available to serve patients 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
As a community-based hospital, Pace ER has the privilege to care for patients in their greatest time of need. With this opportunity, the goal is to provide comfort, aid and compassion and to bring the healing experience to our patients on a daily basis. To honor that commitment, Pace ER has invested in Santa Rosa County by expanding emergency services to the rapidly growing community.
Serving the Pace Community
Pace ER cares for patients 24 hours a day and includes features such as on-site imaging and lab services, board-certified physicians and an experienced emergency services clinical support team.
Highlights of the New Pace ER
- Onsite laboratory with extensive testing: When choosing a free-standing emergency room, know what they offer. The Pace ER includes onsite lab testing. While others might offer merely basic bedside testing (point-of-care testing) and outsource more complex lab tests, Santa Rosa Medical Center realizes the importance of providing fast and accurate laboratory results in an emergency.
- Onsite imaging: Pace ER has CT, ultrasound and X-ray to provide immediate radiology testing and results.
- Over 11,000 square feet: Pace ER was built from the ground up with the goal of supporting future growth of Santa Rosa County.
