AdventHealth is putting more than $1 billion into its Orlando campus, with the funds earmarked for construction of a new 14-story patient tower as well as expanded services.
The project was inspired by the roughly 1,500 people who move to the Orlando area each week, with the health system saying it wants to ensure the region doesn’t outgrow its healthcare services.
Technologies slated for rollout include 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.
The health system will also create additional residency and fellowship programs to train and attract more physicians to the region. Currently, 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.
Other initiatives include a new simulation center and ambitious recruitment goals – enrollment is on pace to reach 2,000 students this year, and 3,000 by 2030.
