The ER at Bayshore Gardens, an Extension of Manatee Memorial Hospital, has been a vital resource for the South Bradenton community. The freestanding ER opened in April 2023 and has seen a steady influx of patients ever since. On December 27th, the ER at Bayshore Gardens achieved a milestone by serving 100 patients in one day. This feat was repeated on January 1st, illustrating the high demand and quality of care at the facility. “The rise in volume that we are seeing at the ER at Bayshore Gardens is representative of the need in that community and throughout Manatee County. Through the expansion of our emergency services into our communities, we can better meet the needs of our citizens and provide access to emergency care where it is needed.  No matter what the emergency, the ER at Bayshore Gardens is equipped to handle everything from minor conditions to stabilizing treatment for major conditions such as heart attack and stroke.” - Tom McDougal, CEO of Manatee Memorial Hospital. The ER at Bayshore Gardens is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to provide care for all ages and is staffed by an ER physician. The 10,884 square ft. facility includes six exam rooms, three rapid medical spaces, full-service laboratory, x-ray, and ultrasound areas. Manatee Memorial has broken ground on its second Manatee County freestanding ER, the ER at Palma Sola. Located at 633 75th Street West at the corner of Manatee Avenue, the ER at Palma Sola is expected to open toward the end of 2024 and will deliver the same high quality emergency services for this community and the barrier islands.
