Orlando Health is coming to Apopka.
In a statement released on Wednesday, the private, not-for-profit network of community and specialty hospitals based in Orlando announced that it will build a new 144-bed hospital in Apopka. The two-story, 100,000-square-foot facility will be located at 1425 South Orange Blossom Trail, central to Orlando Health hospitals and medical staff.
Orlando Health will design and build the new hospital in partnership with Acadia Healthcare, which currently manages behavioral health services at Orlando Health South Seminole Hospital.
The new hospital is expected to be completed in late 2024, expanding behavioral health services west of Orlando.
“This announcement is an exciting step in our partnership with Acadia to amplify the quality of behavioral health care in our region,” said Dr. Matthew Angelelli, medical director for behavioral health at Orlando Health, in the statement. “The new hospital will be the centerpiece from where we expand inpatient and outpatient programs, enhance community outreach activities, improve patient, employee, and customer experience and develop new comprehensive psychiatric strategies across the entire healthcare system.”
