AdventHealth breaks ground on Meadow Woods ER, expanding services in south Orange County

ORLANDO, Fla.,  — AdventHealth has broken ground on an ER that will bring a much-needed option for emergency care to residents in Meadow Woods, Hunters Creek and surrounding communities.

The approximately 13,700-square-foot emergency room, located off South Orange Avenue, will have 12 patient rooms; respiratory therapy; diagnostic imaging, including CT scans, X-ray and ultrasound; and an on-site full-service laboratory and pharmacy.

“This new emergency room is a meaningful commitment to the health and well-being of south Orange County," said AdventHealth Celebration chief operating officer Michael Mewhirter, who will also oversee the Meadow Woods ER. "We are committed to providing comprehensive whole-person care to our patients, and this facility enables us to deliver that care close to home. We are excited to extend our high-quality services to our Meadow Woods neighbors and eagerly anticipate serving both residents and visitors for many years to come."

The ER will be staffed by a comprehensive clinical team including board-certified emergency physicians and emergency nurses.

“In emergency medicine, every second counts,” said Dr. Jesse Caron, medical director for emergency services at AdventHealth Celebration and Meadow Woods. “The AdventHealth Meadow Woods ER will greatly enhance our ability to provide lifesaving care quickly and efficiently. It’s a vital expansion that meets the growing health care needs of the Central Florida community.”

The ER will bring up to 90 jobs to the community in a range of clinical and support roles.

HuntonBrady is the architect on the project, and Batson-Cook is the general contractor. The AdventHealth Meadow Woods ER is slated to open in the fourth quarter of 2025.
