AdventHealth has commenced construction work on its new ten-storey hospital at 10999 Narcoossee Road in Florida, US.  

The facility is poised to provide a wide range of medical treatments to patients from Central Florida, the Lake Nona community, and international visitors.  

AdventHealth stated that the initial phase has so far seen significant groundwork, with thousands of tonnes of soil removed and over 1,000 concrete piles installed underground to form the foundation of the hospital. 

The hospital's opening is scheduled with an initial capacity of 80 beds, with the infrastructure designed to allow expansion for up to 320 beds.  

A diverse range of services will be available at the new hospital such as cardiology, bariatric procedures, men's health, neurology and orthopaedics, among others. 

In addition, the hospital is set to house an incision-less surgical suite, which will underline the use of focused-energy treatments such as ultrasound techniques to destroy tumours and alleviate tremors in Parkinson’s disease patients. 

The upcoming 25-acre hospital campus will not only focus on healthcare but also on promoting wellness and community engagement.  

The design of the hospital includes the development of a lake promenade, a dedicated space for an event lawn and an amphitheatre, as well as integration with the Lake Nona Trail.  

AdventHealth aims to ensure that the hospital’s design incorporates artistic elements that reflect the character of Lake Nona. 

The new facility will also feature a medical office building, dining facilities and retail space, along with amenities for both patients and local residents. 

The anticipated opening of the hospital is in 2026.  

ESA has been appointed as the architect for the hospital’s project, with Brasfield & Gorrie serving as the general contractor.  

Hospital CEO Doug Harcombe said: “We envision this as a health and wellbeing destination, integrated into the Lake Nona community with something to offer to everyone.” 

In March 2024, AdventHealth announced plans to submit a certificate of need application for adding 26 more acute care beds to its community hospital which is scheduled to come up in north Buncombe County, North Carolina.
