ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — A big expansion is coming to a well-known St. Petersburg children's hospital next year with the goal of enhancing inpatient and outpatient services.

In 2025, Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital plans to expand its space and services, including its emergency center and second-floor surgical suite, on the northwest corner of its main campus.

According to a press release, the 28,000-square-foot addition will allow the emergency center to add six convertible exam rooms and expand the second floor's largest operating rooms.

Officials said construction is expected to start in spring 2025 and be completed by 2026. Its current projected cost is $62 million.

"I cried, of course, because I've worked very hard getting it nice, which has been difficult for me since I lost my husband and being alone,” Kelly Welty said.
Welty's mobile home lost its roof during Hurricane Milton. She said it was the only one in the Buena Vista community to get totaled by a tornado.
