Jan. 4, 2022 — Earlier today, AdventHealth Kissimmee, located on Orange Blossom Trail just north of downtown Kissimmee, opened new floors in its patient tower, an $84 million expansion that includes new private rooms and the ability to provide expanded services.
The 123,000-square-foot expansion adds 80 private patient rooms, bringing the facility’s bed count to 242. Later this year, an additional operating room and a second cardiac catheterization lab will open to serve surgical and cardiovascular needs. A parking garage will be opening at the end of the year.
“This investment illustrates our ongoing commitment to the health of the Kissimmee community,” said AdventHealth Kissimmee CEO Sheila Rankin. “We are dedicated to providing whole-person care close to home for the growing population of Osceola County in the years to come.”
Rapid population growth has contributed to the need for additional capacity at the campus, as reflected in the number of patients seen in the last two years. AdventHealth Kissimmee had about 17,100 admissions and more than 83,500 emergency room visits in 2020-2021.
The completion of this project is the latest in a series of expansions, going back to the expanded emergency room that opened in 2014, followed by the original patient tower in 2015.
