Holy Cross Opens Freestanding ER and Health Center in Deerfield Beach

Holy Cross Health, Good News Media Group, June 2026
Leaders, supporters and community members gather to celebrate as Tom Plaut, Deerfield Beach Commissioner; and Pierre Monice, President & CEO, Holy Cross Health, cut the ribbon opening Holy Cross Health Center & Emergency Care – Deerfield Beach.

Holy Cross Health marked a major step forward in expanding access to care with the opening of the Holy Cross Health Center & Emergency Care — Deerfield Beach. The outpatient health center and emergency department began welcoming patients on Monday, May 18.

This $41 million investment expands access to high-level care in a region where demand has continued to grow, building on 70 years of Holy Cross caring for South Florida communities. 

Located at 340 South Federal Highway, the 25,000 square-foot center brings together a freestanding emergency department and a full outpatient health center with primary care, specialty services, physical therapy, and on-site lab and imaging, allowing patients to transition from urgent needs to ongoing care in one place. 

“For decades, families have turned to Holy Cross Health during some of the most important moments in their lives,” said Pierre Monice, MBA, FACHE, President and CEO of Holy Cross Health. “This center brings that same care closer to home. It means less time on the road and more time getting the care you need. When something feels wrong, where you go matters. This gives our community a place they can count on.”

That level of care is carried through in the emergency department, open 24/7 and staffed by board-certified emergency physicians, with 14 private exam rooms; a dedicated ambulance bay; advanced imaging such as CT, X-ray and ultrasound; and an on-site lab to support timely diagnosis and treatment of serious illnesses and injuries. If additional care is needed, patients can be transferred directly to Holy Cross Health in Fort Lauderdale, where shared medical records through MyChart help keep care connected from arrival through follow-up.

At the Holy Cross Health Center, 21 exam rooms and multiple specialties are all in one place, allowing patients to see their primary care provider, visit a specialist, attend physical therapy and complete lab work without leaving the building.
