History

1908-1986

In October 1908, Florida Sanitarium was founded when Seventh-day Adventists bought a farmhouse for $9,000.[10][11][12] It had formerly been a tuberculosis sanitorium and was located between two lakes in the community of Formosa north of Orlando.[10] Florida Sanitarium opened with 20 beds, two physicians, a dairy cattle and four patients.[10]

In 1912, a building made of concrete was constructed across the farmhouse.[10] In 1918, a third story was added to the sanitarium increasing the capacity to 60 beds.[10] In 1925, a new wing was constructed connecting the farmhouse to the concrete building.[10]

Beginning in the 1940s, Florida Sanitarium began using modern medicines, molecular diagnostic and surgical procedures. It also constructed new buildings to replace the old buildings.[10]

In 1970, Florida Sanitarium changed its name to Florida Hospital Orlando.[12][13] In 1986, Florida Hospital Orlando bought a helicopter and it was stationed at the hospital.[14]

2007-2019

In October 2005, the hospital had a groundbreaking for a fifteen-story tower and it topped off one month later.[15] The tower was being built for $260 million, it would open with 200 patient rooms and later expand to 440. One floor will be completely occupied by sixteen medical laboratories. The new larger emergency department will have seventy-two exam rooms, doubling the capacity of the emergency department. The old emergency would be renovated for radiology.[16][17] In mid July 2007, the Ginsburg Family Foundation donated $20 million to the hospital for its heart institute.[15][18] In December 2008, the Ginsburg Tower opened for $255 million saving the hospital $5 million.[19]

2020-present

In early October 2020, Rob Deininger was named president and CEO of AdventHealth Orlando. He took office on November 9.[36][37][38] During the COVID-19 pandemic the medical facility had 1,400 beds.[39][40][41] On October 21, a 1,800 solar panel carport was installed at AdventHealth Orlando on top of its McRae parking garage. It can charge over thirty-two electric cars. It will create 1.3 million kilowatts yearly and will save over $4.6 million in energy costs.[42]
