The Altamonte Springs-based health system on Sept. 10 kicked off construction on a 12-bed, 13,300-square-foot emergency room near the intersection of Ronald Reagan Boulevard and Lake Mary Boulevard in Sanford. In total, it will create 55 new jobs and include CT scans, X-ray and ultrasound, as well as a full-service laboratory and respiratory therapy.

Jeff Villanueva, CEO of AdventHealth Altamonte Springs, told Orlando Business Journal the $17 million project is the first freestanding ER or hospital for AdventHealth within the city limits. It has a 58,000-square-foot Lake Mary Health Park medical office that opened in 2023 next to its ER, which debuted in 2016, just south of Sanford.
