West Boca Medical Center Seeks Approval for Support Addition

West Boca Medical Center is asking Palm Beach County to approve a small support addition on its existing property.

Highlights

• The proposed addition is 3,163 square feet
• It would house mechanical and energy equipment
• It is not a new patient wing
• The hospital's total approved square footage would remain unchanged
• A county hearing is scheduled for September 24 at 9:30 a.m.

What is being proposed?

The hospital wants to reallocate previously approved and existing square footage into a new support addition.

The 3,163-square-foot space would contain equipment supporting the hospital's power and energy systems. The proposal includes previously approved space that was never built and space from an existing storage building that would be demolished.

No additional patient rooms, hospital beds or medical services were announced as part of this application.

When is the hearing?

Palm Beach County is scheduled to consider application DOA-2026-00687 during a public hearing:

Thursday, September 24, 2026, at 9:30 a.m.

Jane M. Thompson Memorial Chambers, Robert Weisman Governmental Center, 6th Floor, 301 N. Olive Ave., West Palm Beach, FL 33401

The hearing could be continued or rescheduled, so residents planning to attend should confirm the agenda beforehand.

Bottom line: This is a proposed mechanical-support addition—not a new patient wing or a net expansion of the hospital's approved space.
