We know that when the unexpected happens, you need high-quality medical care — and fast. For some, the closest hospital could be miles away. However, there may still be emergency rooms close to home that offer the expertise you need, right when you need it.
At AdventHealth, we have conventional emergency rooms within our hospitals, as well as offsite, or freestanding, emergency rooms. You may be familiar with the hospital-based ER setting but may not know the ins and outs of our freestanding ERs. We’re here to highlight the benefits of our freestanding ERs and connect you to the right care for your needs when you need it most.
What Is a Freestanding ER?
When you think of the emergency room, you might immediately picture the hospital. However, our freestanding ERs are structurally separate from our hospitals and stand on their own. We have 9 freestanding ER locations across Central Florida designed to offer the same expert care as our hospital-based emergency rooms, with benefits like pediatric emergency care, locations closer to home, convenient parking and shorter wait times. Our freestanding ERs are always ready to serve you and your family at a moment’s notice.
How Our Freestanding ERs Deliver Expert Care
We know when it comes to your and your loved ones’ health, you want the highest quality of care, and that’s what you can expect from our freestanding ERs in Central Florida.
State-of-the-Art Technology
We know that seamless and coordinated care matters most in an emergency. That’s why each of our facilities is equipped with state-of-the-art equipment to give our patients quick and accurate treatment and answers on their paths to recovery.
A Team of Experts at Your Side
Our freestanding ERs are open 24/7 and staffed with expert teams of emergency physicians and highly trained providers who compassionately and effectively treat your medical needs. We’re delighted to have board-certified ER physicians, critical care nurses, chest pain experts and stroke specialists staffed at our facilities to meet your needs while keeping your whole health in mind.
Backed by Orlando’s Number One Hospital
Although they’re physically separate from our hospitals, our freestanding ERs provide exceptional emergency care backed by AdventHealth Orlando — the number one hospital in Central Florida — and offer direct access to our world-class network of care.
Less Waiting, More Healing
Our freestanding ERs enhance our ability to provide lifesaving care quickly and efficiently by aspiring to provide shorter wait times than ERs in a hospital setting. This allows us to meet the growing health care needs of our Central Florida communities. With the addition of six freestanding ERs in the last five years alone, our facilities are less crowded, resulting in quicker individualized care for every patient. We’ve strategically placed each of our freestanding ERs throughout Central Florida to offer you the expert care you need conveniently close to home.
It's important to note that although our freestanding ERs aren’t physically connected to our hospitals, their services and care are billed at hospital emergency department rates because they deliver the same level of care. Whether you visit one of our hospitals or freestanding ERs, we’ll deliver high-quality care to meet your needs.
Emergency Care for Your Little Ones
When you need emergency care for your kids, you can trust that they’ll be in great hands with us. All of our freestanding ERs are backed by the nationally recognized AdventHealth for Children. We take the extra steps to ease the stress of an ER visit and ease your mind as a parent or guardian. We offer dedicated pediatric rooms designed to be extra comforting for kids. Several of our pediatric ER locations also include dedicated board-certified pediatric physicians and child life experts to provide your children with the 24/7 care they need to heal.
