AdventHealth Riverview, the health system's newest greenfield hospital, officially opened, marking a significant next step in providing high-quality health care for the rapidly growing communities in the South Hillsborough County area. 

The 282,000-square-foot facility will open with 82 beds and plans to expand to 202 beds to meet the growing community's needs. AdventHealth Riverview will provide emergency care, cardiology, labor and delivery, bariatric, general, neurosurgery, orthopedics and spine surgery. It will also provide imaging, laboratory and additional ancillary healthcare services.  

At opening, 60 percent of the hospital will be used for patient care. The remaining 40 percent is shelled out for future growth, designed to expand based on the needs of the community. AdventHealth Riverview has also employed more than 1,000 administrative and clinical team members, all while attracting top talent.  

AdventHealth Riverview has been designed to accommodate future growth while also meeting the current needs of the community. Its leading-edge facilities include surgery rooms equipped with mobile X-ray machines, a hybrid operating room for advanced vascular and cardiac procedures, three of the newest Da Vinci 5 surgical robotic systems, and a secure mother and baby unit with eight labor and delivery rooms with two c-section rooms located inside the unit. 

One key feature of the hospital is its proximity to Hillsborough County Fire Station 16, located a few hundred yards from the hospital. The fire station's dedicated entrance to the hospital ensures first responders can bypass traffic, especially during rush hours.  

For emergency services, AdventHealth Riverview features a full-service rooftop helipad to accommodate AdventHealth AirStar 1, the health system's newest medical helicopter in the region. This allows for rapid air transport for critically ill patients.  

Robins & Morton, the hospital's construction firm, has played a vital role in the project's completion.  

The architect for the project is HuntonBrady, bringing their deep experience in designing forward-thinking healthcare facilities.
