Mount Dora Florida Medical Facilities

 

Expansion, relocation and new facilities characterize the changing face of healthcare in Lake County. All four major providers, (Leesburg Regional Medical Center, The Villages Regional Medical Center, South Lake Hospital and Florida Hospital-Waterman), along with relative newcomer Celebration Health, give residents a wide range of choices for their medical needs. It is no surprise that Lake County ranks 2nd only to neighboring Orange County in the number of Central Florida hospital beds with a total of 843.

 

FLORIDA HOSPITAL-WATERMAN

Lake County's 2nd largest hospital, with 209 beds, celebrated their 75th anniversary in 2012. It moved from Umatilla to Eustis. In 1994, shortly after Waterman became affiliated with Florida Hospital and the Adventist Health System, they began work on a new 123-acre facility on Highway 441 in Tavares. Phase I, the Waterman Medical Plaza, was completed in 1997 and houses x-ray labs, an outpatient surgery center, mammography center and pharmacy, as well as physician offices. A new $129 million campus opened in 2003. The new state-of-the-art facility holds 209 patient beds in a 5-story tower including an emergency room, diagnostic area and cancer center.

Phase I of the expansion includes a 15-bed Coronary/Cardiovascular ICU center, expansion of the diagnostic and x-ray department and a larger ambulatory/surgery area. A new Vascular and Interventional Procedures Suite was completed to treat stroke and aneurysm patients non-operatively via radiolic imaging. The hospital also added a new Patient Placement Center and rapid Admit-Discharge Center for patient care. And the New Life Care Center for women offers 14 suites with accommodations for the spouse.
