AdventHealth Orlando is launching a transformation of its campus, making it the largest single investment in healthcare in Central Florida history. 

The investments include a 14-story patient and surgical tower, expanded services in a range of specialties and ongoing recruitment and training of physicians, nurses and other clinical team members. 

AdventHealth’s more than $1 billion investments also include: 

• Advanced services and technologies to help save more lives, such as with robot-assisted kidney transplant at Orlando’s only Transplant Institute; the Genomics Risk Assessment for Cancer and Early Detection (GRACE) program, which uses a patient’s family history, medical history and AI data to assess potential risk; and the Little Miracles Unit, providing more intensive care for infants born as early as 22 weeks. 
• Creating additional residency and fellowship programs to train and attract more physicians to the region. AdventHealth Orlando is home to 24 accredited programs, with 358 accredited residents and fellows. With additional investments, the goal is to have 33 accredited programs and 467 positions by 2029. 
• Advancing today’s clinicians and training the health care workforce of the future with investments at AdventHealth University, located on the AdventHealth Orlando campus. Investments underway include a new simulation center and bold recruitment goals – enrollment is on pace to reach 2,000 students this year, and 3,000 by 2030. 

The tower is expected to open in 2030 with capacity for 24 operating rooms, endoscopy and imaging services, and 440 inpatient beds. 

Brasfield & Gorrie is the general contractor on the project, and HuntonBrady is the architect.
