At AdventHealth Connerton, formerly Florida Hospital at Connerton Long Term Acute Care, we deliver meaningful long-term care by getting to know our patients and their families. Our 50-bed hospital is designed to serve individuals who have medically complex illnesses requiring additional weeks of specialized hospital care.
The unique environment of a long-term acute-care hospital means that our patients and their visitors will spend more time with us than at other hospitals. For that reason, we've designed our hospital to be a comfortable environment. Our specially trained staff are not only experts in providing advanced care, but also have friendly, compassionate personalities that help ease the stress that can be associated with long-term recovery or illness.
The 48,000-square foot, one-story AdventHealth Connerton features all private rooms, an operating room for minor inpatient procedures, a chapel, inner courtyard and dining area — all specially designed for an extended hospital stay.
AdventHealth Connerton is part of the AdventHealth network, and we are proud to bring our expertise, experience and leadership to the region as we deliver health care through the compassion and dedication of our people.
We strongly encourage visitation by family and friends for our patients, as support, comfort and love are just as important in the healing process as any medical treatment or medicine that we can give.
An extended hospital stay can be a stressful time for our patients and their loved ones. We’re committed to providing an environment that invites a sense of peace and calm and helps promote healing.
A long-term acute care patient is one who needs focused critical care nursing, intensive respiratory services and rehabilitation therapies for his or her recovery. Find out how to refer a patient here.
