The hospital expansion is also supported by the AdventHealth Office of Design and Construction, architects Hunton Brady, Smith Seckman Reid, Inc. (Design Engineers) and Atwell (Civil Engineering).

From state-of-the-art equipment to the most intricate building details, AdventHealth Wesley Chapel was designed from the ground up to maximize healing, patient care and wellness.

Since opening in October 2012, the hospital has earned national recognition as a leader in patient satisfaction, quality and safety, including being recognized as a World’s Best Hospital by Newsweek for three consecutive years. The hospital offers a full range of inpatient and outpatient health services.

In addition, an offsite 24-bed, 24/7 emergency room opened in January 2018 in Central Pasco to better serve the emergency health needs of residents in West and central Pasco.
