A Mission of Healing Through Philanthropy
The AdventHealth Zephyrhills Foundation extends the healing ministry of Christ by expanding access to whole-person, high-quality care across Zephyrhills and the surrounding communities. Through philanthropy and community partnerships, we help more people get the care they need, strengthen local programs and support healthier lives for our neighbors.
Celebrating 40 Years of Care at AdventHealth Zephyrhills
Since opening our doors in 1985, AdventHealth Zephyrhills has grown alongside the community, providing compassionate, whole-person care to generations of families. This video reflects on our journey through the voices of those who helped shape it including community and hospital leaders.
Watch now to discover the heart behind the mission that continues to serve you and your family today.
Advancing Women’s and Newborn Care
For more than 40 years, AdventHealth Zephyrhills has been a trusted place where families begin their journey together. Generations of women have turned to us for compassionate, expert care during one of life’s most meaningful milestones — childbirth. Today, we’re honoring that legacy by reimagining the future of women’s and newborn care in Pasco County through state-of-the-art renovations and innovative services.
As our community grows, so does the need for modern, comfortable and technologically advanced spaces that support mothers and newborns. That’s why we’re redesigning our labor and delivery suites to reflect the highest standards in maternal health. These enhancements will create a calming, supportive environment that fosters confidence and peace of mind for expectant families.
With upgraded facilities and expanded capabilities, our exceptional care teams will be empowered to deliver the very best in whole-person care. From the latest medical technology to thoughtful design that prioritizes privacy and comfort, we’re building a space where every mother feels supported, every baby receives the best start and every family experiences the joy of new life in a place they trust.
Simpson Breast Health Center
A diagnosis of cancer can be difficult and all-consuming — but at the Simpson Breast Health Center at AdventHealth Zephyrhills, we don’t just see a disease. We see vibrant people. Full lives. Incredible determination.
The Simpson Breast Health Center is a center of care dedicated exclusively to breast health.
Led by our skilled physicians, we provide some of Florida’s most advanced detection tools to support a full spectrum of care — from diagnosis to treatment, surgery to rehabilitation and ongoing patient education and recovery.
Thanks to the generosity of people like you, we can continue to fund state-of-the art technology and provide heartfelt support to brave women and men facing breast cancer.
Quote"When Dr. Rippe found my stage 1 tumor, he became my hero. And he's still my hero today. The Simpson Breast Health Center is a place my family trusts. It's been an honor to help bring state-of-the-art technology to the center, so our family, friends and neighbors seeking care can feel safe and loved during difficult times."

Tom's Life-Saving Journey at AdventHealth Zephyrhills
Tom was bleeding heavily when he arrived at our ER on a Sunday night. What happened next shows why compassion matters as much as medical expertise and why your support to the Zephyrhills Foundation makes all the difference.
QuoteWhat I experienced at AdventHealth Zephyrhills was better than anything I’ve seen before. It was sincere, consistent and deeply compassionate.

Area of Greatest Need
Every gift to the AdventHealth Zephyrhills Foundation stays right here, supporting the patients, guests and team members who walk through our doors.
When you give, you decide where your support goes, and 100% of your donation reaches the area you choose. That means you're funding the care priorities that matter most to you, from the bedside to the broader needs of our hospital.
Your generosity is already at work. Community gifts have funded a robotic surgical system, a child care van, wellness center improvements, advanced breast health technology, a community garden and more, each one shaping a future of innovative, whole-person care for Zephyrhills families.
Make an Impact through Gift Planning
Legacy giving transforms your generosity into a beacon of hope for generations.
When you include your local AdventHealth Foundation in your estate plan, you become a steward of lifelong healing. Your plan might include a gift in your will, a charitable trust that provides income to you or your loved ones or naming the Foundation as a beneficiary of your retirement account or life insurance policy. Each option offers a meaningful way to support patient care, advance medical innovation and protect our mission for the future.
To help you get started, we invite you to explore our free guide, Your Legacy, Your Impact: An Estate Planning Resource. Designed to simplify the process, it provides practical information and guidance so you can make informed, confident decisions at your own pace.
Let us help you explore the giving strategy that best reflects your values and creates a legacy of compassion and impact.
