Jacksonville ranks high in many quality-of-life categories for folks seeking their new custom Florida homes here, from outdoor recreation, to bustling arts and culture scenes, and scenic Atlantic beaches.

But, did you know it’s also home to some of Florida’s top healthcare resources? And that a new facility is being built right around the corner from Tamaya — ICI Homes’ master-planned community on the city’s southeast flank?

Now you do! A new Nutex Health ER & Hospital is destined for nearly five acres at the corner of Kernan and Beach Boulevards, just southwest of gated Tamaya entrances on each thoroughfare.

Here’s more on Tamaya’s newest “healthy” neighbor.

Existing healthcare resources near Tamaya

Tamaya residents are already surrounded by numerous facilities offering healthcare in multiple disciplines. One — the Mayo Clinic’s Jacksonville location — is the top-rated hospital in Florida per U.S. News & World Report’s Best Hospitals 2024-2025 rankings.

You’ll find Mayo Clinic Jacksonville only five miles and 10 minutes south of Tamaya along the northwest quadrant of San Pablo Road and Butler Boulevard. Its campus sports multiple hospitals and specialties and has earned the same U.S. News & World Report honor in eight of the past 10 years, according to the Florida Times-Union.

Tamaya residents are also neighbors to Reunion Rehabilitation Hospital Jacksonville. It’s off Kernan Boulevard just north of Nutex Health ER & Hospital’s future site. And, according to the Jacksonville Daily Record, UF Health is pondering a fourth emergency and urgent care center in Jacksonville, along Atlantic Boulevard just northeast of Tamaya.

Termed a “micro-hospital,” the new Nutex Health facility fills a potentially handy niche healthcare role for current and future Tamaya residents.

Tamaya rocks too
