Celebrating 40 Years of Care at AdventHealth Zephyrhills
Since opening our doors in 1985, AdventHealth Zephyrhills has grown alongside the community, providing compassionate, whole-person care to generations of families. This video reflects on our journey through the voices of those who helped shape it including community and hospital leaders.
Watch now to discover the heart behind the mission that continues to serve you and your family today.
Advancing Women’s and Newborn Care
For more than 40 years, AdventHealth Zephyrhills has been a trusted place where families begin their journey together. Generations of women have turned to us for compassionate, expert care during one of life’s most meaningful milestones — childbirth. Today, we’re honoring that legacy by reimagining the future of women’s and newborn care in Pasco County through state-of-the-art renovations and innovative services.
As our community grows, so does the need for modern, comfortable and technologically advanced spaces that support mothers and newborns. That’s why we’re redesigning our labor and delivery suites to reflect the highest standards in maternal health. These enhancements will create a calming, supportive environment that fosters confidence and peace of mind for expectant families.
With upgraded facilities and expanded capabilities, our exceptional care teams will be empowered to deliver the very best in whole-person care. From the latest medical technology to thoughtful design that prioritizes privacy and comfort, we’re building a space where every mother feels supported, every baby receives the best start and every family experiences the joy of new life in a place they trust.
Simpson Breast Health Center
A diagnosis of cancer can be difficult and all-consuming — but at the Simpson Breast Health Center at AdventHealth Zephyrhills, we don’t just see a disease. We see vibrant people. Full lives. Incredible determination.
The Simpson Breast Health Center is a center of care dedicated exclusively to breast health.
Led by our skilled physicians, we provide some of Florida’s most advanced detection tools to support a full spectrum of care — from diagnosis to treatment, surgery to rehabilitation, and ongoing patient education and recovery.
Thanks to the generosity of people like you, we can continue to fund state-of-the art technology and provide heartfelt support to brave women and men facing breast cancer.
"When Dr. Rippe found my stage 1 tumor, he became my hero. And he's still my hero today. The Simpson Breast Health Center is a place my family trusts. It's been an honor to help bring state-of-the-art technology to the center, so our family, friends and neighbors seeking care can feel safe and loved during difficult times."

Area of Greatest Need
Our AdventHealth Zephyrhills Foundation’s goal is simple: support programs and needs that serve Zephyrhills patients, guests, and team members.
By partnering with us to support our areas of greatest need, you have the opportunity to move health forward by funding patient care priorities. Your donations stay within our hospital and 100% goes to the area you designate.
Thanks to generous contributions from community members, our Foundation funds programs that shape the future of innovative, whole-person care. Some of these incredible initiatives include a robotic surgical system, child care van, wellness center improvements, leading-edge breast health technology, a community garden, and much more.
We hope you'll join us to experience how generosity heals.
