The health system will break ground on the medical complex later this year, and construction is expected to finish in late fall of 2018.
The ER will hold 24 beds, an imaging department, ambulance bays and a helipad. Its own emergency department and Air Care Team helicopter base will be linked to Orlando Health’s South Seminole Hospital in Longwood, Fla., six miles away from the site of the new complex.
“Our future vision for the healthcare site includes an acute care hospital, additional medical offices, a potential ambulatory surgery center and other health and wellness concepts,” Karen Frenier, president of South Seminole Hospital, said in a news release, according to the report.
