History

1951-1994

In 1951, local leaders were frustrated that they always had to go to Orlando, Florida to see a physician, so they purchased 15 acres of the defunct Aloma Country Club.[3] A total of $850,000 was raised by the Winter Park Memorial Hospital Association from the locals. In 1953, there was a groundbreaking for Winter Park Memorial Hospital.[3] In 1955, it opened with 58 beds, two operating theaters, a fracture and a delivery room. That year it treated 2,000 locals and delivered 200 babies.[3]

In 1994, Columbia Healthcare Corporation acquired a half interest in the hospital from the Winter Park Health Foundation.[4][5]

2000-present

In late March 2000, Florida Hospital announced that it planned to purchase Winter Park Memorial Hospital.[6] In early July, it took over the management of the hospital.[7] In 2005, the hospital had 275 beds, and later construction began in May due to the number of babies being born.[8]

In late September 2012, Florida Hospital announced that it would have a building constructed at Winter Park Memorial Hospital for women's health.[9][10] In early October 2013, the hospital opened Florida Hospital for Women - Winter Park.[11][12][13]

In early July 2015, Winter Park Memorial Hospital announced that it planned to add a five-story, patient pavilion tower with eighty beds for $90 million, with shell space for an additional 160 beds. It also announced that it planned to renovate and double its emergency department.[14][15][16] In August, both the Winter Park Planning and Zoning Board, and the city commission government approved the construction plans unanimously.[17][18][19]

In early November 2016, the cost of the pavilion tower was reduced to $85 million.[20][21][22] In January 2017, Brasfield & Gorrie began construction of the mediterranean style pavilion tower, it was designed by RLF Architects.[23] In late March 2018, Winter Park Memorial Hospital changed its mind and decided to open the tower with 140 beds.[24] When the construction at the hospital is complete the number of beds will increase from 320 to 400, and all of the patient rooms will be private.[20][22] In early July 2019, the first phase of the Nicholson Pavilion opened,[25][26] and the second phase opened in early October.[27] The pavilion was named in honor of the married couple who donated for its construction.[20][22]

In late February 2020, construction workers found a time capsule labeled 1953-1963, and when it was opened by the hospital CEO it had newspaper clippings of the early years of the medical facility.[28][29] In late July, construction began on the emergency department to add thirty-two beds, by increasing its size to 27,000-square-foot. On June 8, 2021, the expanded emergency department opened,[30][31] by it two new metal sculputure's by Jefrë were installed.[32][33]

On January 1, 2021, all hospitals were required to have their chargemaster on its website by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.[34] In early February 2023, almost all of the AdventHealth hospitals had their chargemaster on their website, including AdventHealth Winter Park.[35]

Partnership

In late November 2022, AdventHealth Winter Park and Seminole State College of Florida partnered to create a dedicated education unit to fill the nursing shortage in the state.[36][37]
