Our History Timeline
In the year 2000, the West Orange Healthcare District and Health Central Hospital established a plan to purchase 40 acres of land in Horizon West, Florida, for the development of a healthcare services campus that would serve the needs of the newly developing community. Though the area was mostly citrus land at the time, the board and leadership team saw the vision that the area would grow in the coming years and need reliable healthcare services.
In 2005, they purchased another 40 acres of land, located right next to the initial 40-acre purchase.
The Orlando Health Emergency Room and Medical Pavilion – Horizon West opened to the community on September 25, 2018. The emergency room featured 24 patient beds plus an additional six observation beds, while the medical pavilion provided much-needed healthcare services, including primary care, family medicine, OB/GYN, general surgery, a diagnostics laboratory, orthopedics, neurology, urology, cardiology, a pharmacy, outpatient rehabilitation and a center for health improvement.
Orlando Health Horizon West Hospital officially opened to the public on January 30, 2021. See videos from the Ribbon Cutting and Open House.
