About Us

The Florida Hospital System is one of more than 500 not-for-profit Christian health care facilities owned or operated by the Seventh-day Adventist Church worldwide.

Florida Hospital was founded in 1908, then named Florida Sanitarium. Today, Florida Hospital is a multi-campus system, with full-service facilities in Orlando, Altamonte, Apopka, East Orlando, Kissimmee, Volusia County and Sebring, as well as 16 walk-in clinics or Centra Cares situated throughout Central Florida. In 1997, Celebration Health—a state-of-the-art facility—opened its doors in the futuristic Disney city, Celebration. Construction was also completed in early 1998 on the RDV Sportsplex in Maitland, a joint venture between the hospital and the parent corporation of the Orlando Magic basketball team and the Orlando Solar Bears hockey team. This unique facility provides a rehabilitation and fitness center, along with a Women's Center, training facilities, and a complete sports medicine program, among other services.

Florida Hospital is the flagship organization owned and operated by Adventist Health System, a corporation which owns or operates healthcare facilities extending from the Carolinas to Texas, and from Florida to Wisconsin.

Although affiliated with the Seventh-day Adventist Church, Florida Hospital values the fact that employees come from many religious backgrounds and denominations.

Florida Hospital hopes all employees think of themselves as extensions of God's caring nature in their work in healing and comforting the sick, and to share hope and the good news of His love in word and action.

At Florida Hospital, we care for the whole person—their body, mind and spirit.

Part of caring for the whole person comes from taking pride in the hospital environment—from the way we dress, to the way our buildings are designed, and to the way our grounds are kept.
