The Florida Hospital Healthcare system is ranked by U.S. News and World Report as one of the top 50 hospitals in the nation. Florida Hospital Altamonte, in Altamonte Springs, is part of this healthcare system which is the largest not-for-profit Protestant hospital in the country.

As the largest satellite campus within the Florida Hospital system, Florida Hospital Altamonte has been providing state-of-the-art healthcare to the community since 1973. The recently expanded 341-bed hospital cares for more than 175,000 patients a year, including 50,000 emergency patients and 17,000 inpatients, with 1,500 baby deliveries and performs approximately 8,000 surgical cases, making it the largest and most comprehensive hospital in Seminole County.

Florida Hospital Altamonte is also part of a nationally-recognized cardiac center offering an array of cardiac diagnostic services, as well as comprehensive cancer care, surgical services, maternity and state-of-the-art diagnostic imaging.

Florida Hospital Altamonte's new multi-million dollar expansion is more than just bricks and mortar. It encompasses an entire atmosphere and unique philosophy of holistic healthcare, focused on healing the body, mind and spirit. In December 2007, Florida Hospital Altamonte opened the community's largest gift, with the state of the art six-story tower which has transformed the face of healthcare in Seminole County.

"This $70 million dollar community investment provides Florida Hospital Altamonte an extraordinary opportunity to establish destination healthcare services in Seminole County and further enhance our mission of caring for the whole person and enhancing their individual experience," said Rob Fulbright, Administrator, Florida Hospital Altamonte.

Each room in the hospital is designed with added space to encourage family-centered care to enhance the healing process. The rooms are also equipped with an interactive patient network that empowers patients and their families to be engaged in the care experience. As a first of its kind in Central Florida, this patient friendly technology, turns each room's forty-two inch LCD TV into an interactive resource, which provides personalized health education, internet and entertainment options as well as an opportunity to communicate and receive immediate feedback at the touch of a button.
