About Florida Hospital
Since 1908, Florida Hospital Orlando has cared for the Central Florida community as well as patients from around the world. At the core of the Florida Hospital system, Florida Hospital Orlando is an acute-care, tertiary hospital caring for more than 1.5 million patients a year. As the primary campus for more than 1,000 physicians, Florida Hospital Orlando is home to nationally recognized Centers of Excellence for cancer, cardiology, children, diabetes, neuroscience, orthopaedics, and transplant. Florida Hospital Orlando continues to meet the growing needs of our community with the addition of the Ginsburg Tower, a $255 million 15-story facility that is home to the Florida Hospital Cardiovascular Institute and a football-field-sized emergency department that can accommodate the treatment of more patients in less time.
The Seventh-day Adventist Church’s commitment to superior healthcare means more than providing you with the most gifted professionals and advanced technologies and treatments available to meet your medical needs. Our focus is on healing the whole person and our mission is to provide care for the mind and the spirit, as well as the body. In fact, Seventh-day Adventists believe that nothing is more vital to physical health than spiritual and emotional well being. It is this belief that guides everything we do at Florida Hospital and it has helped us to create one of the finest healthcare facilities in the U.S., if not the world, right here in Central Florida
Our mission, extending the healing ministry of Christ, comes from the study of scripture. Jesus spent a great deal of his ministry on this Earth healing the sick and helping those in need. In fact, he seemed to seek out people with problems, offering them a new and better life. Our hope is that through our caregivers, His Healing Touch, will be felt by all who come to us for care

History Of Florida Hospital
The year was 1908. That year, paper cups were invented. The diesel engine came on line. General Motors Corporation was founded. The Ford Motor Company made its first Model T—and went on to sell 15 million. The TB vaccine was first used. Pre-transfusion blood tests began being used.
That year was memorable for one other important event: it was the year Florida Hospital first opened its doors.
Today's billion-dollar Florida Hospital system got started with $4.83. That's the amount Seventh-day Adventist leaders actually had in their treasury when they made a $9,000 offer to buy what was then known as "Dr. Harris Sanitarium and Hotel Company." Orlando surgeon R. L. Harris had established the facility in a farmhouse on 72 acres between the shores of Lake Estelle and Lake Winyah. He built several small cottages on the property, installed a sewer system, and outfitted the rooms, spending a total of $12,500—a large sum in those days.
Between 1908 and 1920, a number of changes took place at the hospital. The progress during these early years would set a pattern that has followed the hospital until the present day—improvement and expansion of the facilities, along with educational training of hospital workers.
In 1940 a new wing was one of the major construction programs and is still in use today. By 1950, the hospital hadn't changed much on the outside, but on the inside great changes were taking place. Patients no longer came to the hospital to "rest," but came for specific medical treatment—and the emergence of many new surgical and medical treatment options offered them a better chance for recovery. With the installation of air-conditioning in 1958, year-round care became truly possible for the first time.
During the 1960s, the outdated wooden structures were soon torn down and replaced with modern facilities. The hospital grew to nearly 500 beds by 1970, and the interior underwent even more dramatic changes. Specialty programs including cardiology, orthopedic surgery, organ transplants, and cancer treatment were added.
The lush lawns of the 50s and 60s were gone by the 70s as a result of the need for land for new construction. The hospital built the new Diagnostic and Treatment Center which housed the new Emergency Department, Lab, Radiology, operating suites, and other services, as well as an underground physician parking garage. This new Center was built so that new floors could be added in the future, and in 1982 an 11-story addition was completed at a cost of $120 million—the most expensive building program in the hospital's history. The word "Sanitarium" was dropped from its name in 1970 and the hospital became known simply as "Florida Hospital." By the end of the 80s the Orlando facility was one of Florida's largest hospitals, with a growing international reputation. In 1973, Florida Hospital Altamonte in Altamonte springs became the first "satellite" hospital, and in 1975 Florida Hospital Apopka was purchased.
Today, Florida Hospital is a multi-campus system, with full-service facilities in Orlando, Altamonte, Apopka, East Orlando, Kissimmee, Volusia County and Sebring, as well as 13 walk-in clinics or Centra Cares situated throughout Central Florida. In 1997, Celebration Health—a state-of-the-art facility—opened its doors in the futuristic Disney city, Celebration. Construction was also completed in early 1998 on the RDV Sportsplex in Maitland, a joint venture between the hospital and the parent corporation of the Orlando Magic basketball team and the Orlando Solar Bears hockey team. This unique facility provides a rehabilitation and fitness center, along with a Women's Center, training facilities, and a complete sports medicine program, among other services.
In 1991, the Cancer Center received permission from the wife of the late Walt Disney to name the Cancer Institute in his honor. In mid-1998 the new Cancer Institute was completed, and today, the Walt Disney Memorial Cancer Institute (WDMCI) has developed the region's most comprehensive cancer treatment and research center, located on the Orlando campus.
Florida Hospital is committed to development and growth as it keeps abreast of the latest in technology, and its main priority will continue to be the health and well-being of the people of Central Florida during the 21st century..
