Had the purchase been completed, the current West Florida Hospital on [[Davis Highway]] would have become the new [[Baptist Hospital]], supplementing the presence of [[Baptist Medical Park - Nine Mile]] in north Pensacola. The campus would have featured an expanded [[Baptist Cancer Center]] in affiliation with the Moffitt Cancer Institute; [[Baptist Neurosciences Center]] complemented by a rehab hospital for neurologic and orthopaedic conditions; [[Baptist Heart & Vascular Center of Excellence]]; and an expanded Emergency Department. The new Baptist Hospital would have also offered a new parking garage and new physician office buildings. Additionally, Baptist Health Care would have assumed the current [[West Florida Hospital Primary Care Practices]] (nine neighborhood medical centers), creating the largest primary care network in the region. | Had the purchase been completed, the current West Florida Hospital on [[Davis Highway]] would have become the new [[Baptist Hospital]], supplementing the presence of [[Baptist Medical Park - Nine Mile]] in north Pensacola.
