TAMPA, Fla. (Thursday, October 10, 2024) -- Last night, due to Hurricane Milton, multiple hospitals in the AdventHealth West Florida Division—including AdventHealth Carrollwood and AdventHealth Tampa—experienced minor water intrusion that affected some areas of the facilities.
Thanks to the swift and coordinated efforts of our dedicated team members across the Tampa Bay region, no patient care was affected and no injuries were reported.
All AdventHealth hospitals and freestanding emergency departments in the Tampa Bay Area, with the exception of AdventHealth North Pinellas, are open and accepting patients.
“We are grateful to everyone who worked tirelessly to ensure the safety of our patients and maintain hospital operations,” said David Ottati, president and CEO of the AdventHealth West Florida Division. “Their commitment exemplifies the strength of our AdventHealth family.”
