ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. – February 22, 2019 – UF Health Flagler Hospital announced today Flagler Health+, its new and expanded health care enterprise. Headquartered in St. Augustine, the hospital unveiled its new brand that will serve to advance the physical, social, and economic health of St. Johns County and surrounding Northeast Florida communities.

“As we expand to Flagler Health+, we are transforming from a hospital-centric system to a total care enterprise aimed at improving all aspects of health for people and communities,” said UF Health Flagler Hospital President and Chief Executive Officer Jason Barrett. “We are working to eliminate disconnected, episodic interactions and instead create a seamless relationship of care throughout the journey of life.”

UF Health St. Johnswill expand to include health villages in Nocatee, Murabella and other future locations. These villages will offer a wide range of services including urgent care, pediatrics, obstetrics, gynecology, lab services and primary care supported by robust and innovative digital engagement features. Central to the village concept is dedicated green space to serve as the community’s center point for wellness activities for mind, body and spirit. The UF Health St. JohnsVillage at Murabella also incorporates a YMCA.

With the announcement of Flagler Health+, the hospital is also introducing virtual urgent care visits available via its website and mobile app, downloadable in the Apple and Google Play app stores, beginning today.

“Northeast Florida is vibrant and growing and UF Health St. Johns is our promise to deliver new services in new ways and in new places, while helping our patients and communities thrive,” added Barrett. “We know health care has lagged behind other industries when it comes to delivering the convenient, personalized service that today’s consumer wants. We are closing that gap.”

As part of its focus on addressing social determinants of health, UF Health St. Johns is expanding Care Connect – its community alliance designed to connect area residents with resources in a coordinated way throughout all of St. Johns County. In the coming year, Care Connect will introduce programs that further to support mental health in adolescents while continuing to focus on key issues like homelessness and access to care.
