ORLANDO, Fla. — AdventHealth has broken ground on an ER that will bring a much-needed option for emergency care to residents of south Orange County.
The approximately 13,700-square-foot emergency room, located off West Sand Lake Road, 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 Winter Park CEO Justin Birmele, who will also oversee the Sand Lake 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 Sand Lake 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. Mitchell Maulfair, emergency department medical director for AdventHealth Winter Park. “The AdventHealth Sand Lake ER will greatly enhance our ability to provide life-saving 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 approximately 75 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 Sand Lake ER is slated to open in 2026.
