History

In late December 2012, Winter Garden commissioners unanimously approved a medical campus in the city for Adventist Health System Sunbelt Corporation.[3] On September 17, 2013, Florida Hospital had a groundbreaking for a 75000 sqfoot, three-story emergency department by Florida State Road 535.[4][5][6] Later the size of the emergency department was changed to 97000 sqfoot, it opened on February 15, 2016 with nineteen beds.[7]

On February 14, 2017, Florida Hospital had a groundbreaking for a 72000 sqfoot medical office building.[8][9] On October 3, 2018, Florida Hospital announced that it would have a seven-story, 300000 sqfoot hospital tower with 100 beds attached to its Florida Hospital Winter Garden emergency department for $200 million.[10][11] Later plans changed to a five-story tower with eighty beds.[12] On March 14, 2019, there was a groundbreaking for the patient tower.[13][14][15] On April 8, 2021, there was a topping out of AdventHealth Winter Garden.[16][17][18] On May 3, 2022, the hospital opened to patients.[19][20] When the campus was completed it created about 1,100 jobs.[21]

On May 15, 2024, AdventHealth announced that it would have three floors added to the patient tower at AdventHealth Winter Garden for a cost of $145 million. The 105000 sqfoot expansion will include ten postpartum care beds, nine labour & recovery rooms, operating theaters, a progressive care unit with forty beds. It will have a shell floor for forty more beds and also in the future a level 2 neonatal intensive care unit will be added. [22][23][24] In early June, the city unanimously approved the expansion of the tower at the hospital, the construction would be supervised by Earl Swensson Associates.[25][26] Construction would begin in the summer and when completed 100 jobs will be added to the hospital. [24]

In early February 2025, AdventHealth announced that it would have a three-story, 69183 sqfoot medical office building constructed to treat cancer.[27] In late April, construction began on a smaller 60000 sqfoot facility for $43.2 million.[28][29][30] In July, the expansion of the tower was topped out.[31][32]

The reason why AdventHealth Winter Garden is having two construction projects taking place at the same time, is because of the rapid population growth of the city and Orange County, Florida.[33] Another reason so patients do not have to travel ten to twenty miles to see a doctor.[34]

On February 13, 2026, the cancer institute was topped out.[34]
