The nonprofit health system — with over $8 billion in assets and $4.6 billion in 2021 revenue — said it would “reimagine” the 206-bed hospital campus into a “health care hub” with a new freestanding emergency department.

The hospital will close in summer 2024 concurrently with the opening of the 12,000-square-foot freestanding emergency room and the debut of the under-construction Orlando Health Lake Mary Hospital, which will start with 180 beds.
