UF Health Wildlight officially opened to the public in December 2019 and provides comprehensive health services, advanced medical technology and outstanding care in the heart of Nassau County.

The patient-centered model focuses on early prevention for better overall health. The facility is part of Wildlight, a new master-planned community located at Interstate 95 and A1A. It is the first step in a strategic collaboration with UF Health, the University of Florida and developer Raydient Places + Properties, and offers high-quality health care for residents living in Wildlight and the surrounding communities.

A ribbon-cutting ceremony and community open house took place in late November 2019 and marked the unveiling of the stunning 40,000-square-foot building that offers a one-stop shop for patients. The first UF Health Jacksonville urgent care center opened in the facility and is staffed by UF Health emergency medicine physicians and providers.

UF Health Health Wildlight is the first step toward the greater goal of supporting one of the region’s healthiest communities. The next stage is UF Health Rehabilitation – Wildlight, which will offer adult and pediatric rehabilitation services, healthy living classes and a YMCA. The 36,000-square-foot wellness center is expected to open in early fall 2020 and features 5,000-square-feet of rehabilitative space to provide specialized, one-on-one care.

University of Florida faculty members are also working with Wildlight to develop programs and services to promote childhood development, community nutrition, smart parks and more.
