Future hospital capacity took an upward turn last week when AdventHealth Celebration broke ground on a new state-of-the-art eight-story patient tower.
The medical network said the tower will include 80 progressive care bed, three operating rooms, along with shell space to accommodate future growth, including an eventual ER expansion and room for new services.
The new tower, slated to open in late 2027, will bring the Celebration hospital’s bed count to 437.
“This expansion is a testament to AdventHealth Celebration’s dedication to meeting the evolving needs of our community, ensuring that residents have access to world-class clinical care close to home,” said AdventHealth Celebration CEO Amanda Maggard. “We knew this tower was necessary to support of our community. This area of the Orlando is growing rapidly, as fast as any other part of the country. We also see the tourism industry is going to be growing significantly and we want to be able to support people who come to Central Florida and need clinical care.
“This new facility will enable us to serve residents and visitors alike, and provide tertiary services such as cardiac surgery and advanced neurosurgical care that previously would have required traveling out of our area.”
The hospital has recently celebrated notable clinical milestones, such as the fifth anniversary of the cardiovascular surgery program.
“We are excited about the path Celebration is on, and where we are headed,” said Dr. Tarick Doleh, chief of the medical staff at AdventHealth Celebration. “The new patient tower will be equipped with cutting-edge technology and designed with patient-centered care in mind. Our goal is to create a healing environment that supports whole-person care – body, mind and spirit.”
The ceremonial groundbreaking was scheduled for the 30th anniversary of the original groundbreaking for AdventHealth Celebration.
