Modern medical facility reception area featuring a sleek nursing station with wood and white counters. Staff members work at computer stations while a central glass-enclosed administrative area provides oversight. The bright space has a drop ceiling with recessed lighting, polished floors, and a row of mobile medical carts lined against the wall. A staff member pushes a cart through the corridor. The contemporary design uses neutral colors with light blue accents, creating an organized, professional healthcare environment with clear sightlines between administrative and clinical areas.

Emergency treatment room featuring a LINET adjustable medical gurney with gray mattress and orange safety rails. Wall-mounted medical equipment including vital signs monitor and examination tools are positioned to the left. The room is brightened by a large nature-themed wall mural showing a close-up of plant stems and buds, creating a calming atmosphere. Two patterned visitor chairs sit against the mural wall, and a wall-mounted television is visible in the upper right corner. The space combines clinical functionality with biophilic design elements to reduce patient stress in the emergency care environment.

Medical imaging room featuring a Philips CT scanner with its distinctive circular gantry and patient table positioned in the center of the room. A technician in dark clothing stands beside the machine, preparing for a procedure. The room has a calming blue accent wall, warm wood cabinetry along two walls, and built-in storage. Ceiling-mounted equipment rails and lighting provide functionality above the scanner. A teal chair sits in the corner for accompanying persons. The floor features a circular inlay marking the scanner's position. The space is designed for efficient workflow while maintaining a less clinical atmosphere.

Interior view of an emergency department treatment area showing an open doorway leading to a room with two transport gurneys with orange safety straps. A healthcare professional in a white coat carrying a clipboard walks through the space. The pale blue walls feature medical equipment mounts and control panels. To the left of the doorway is a wall-mounted control panel and a handrail. The floor is speckled white with a contrasting darker threshold strip. The clinical environment is clean, modern, and designed for efficient emergency care.

New Freestanding Emergency Department Enhances Access to Care in Lakeland, FL

Lakeland Regional Health opened its first freestanding emergency department (FSED). Designed by BSA, the new state-of-the-art facility marks a significant milestone for South Lakeland. Specifically, this FSED expands critical access to high-quality, lifesaving emergency care. BSA is proud to have provided architecture, interior design, and planning services.

This is Lakeland Regional Health’s first FSED, which was designed to deliver seamless, high-quality emergency care. This facility integrates advanced medical technology with an efficient, patient-centered layout. The new location provides a more convenient option for residents without compromising the standard of care.

Open 24/7, the freestanding emergency department delivers comprehensive care for both adults and children. It features advanced radiology services—including CT scans, X-rays, and ultrasounds—as well as full on-site laboratory capabilities. If inpatient care is needed, patients are transported at no cost to Lakeland Regional Health Medical Center, located just minutes away.

With its modern, patient-centered design and streamlined clinical functionality, this new freestanding emergency department is a significant addition to Lakeland Regional Health’s expanding network. It will ensure that more people have timely access to the emergency care they need. Equally exciting, the addition of this facility will relieve medical staff.
