History

[edit]

1964-1997

[edit]

In 1964, physician David Green donated real estate to Heart of Florida Hospital Association. On March 27, 1966, Heart of Florida Hospital opened to the public in Haines City.[2][3] In August 1993, Health Management Associates began to lease the hospital.[2] On June 6, 1997, Heart of Florida Regional Medical Center opened to the public on U.S. Route 27.[2] The three story 120,000-square-foot hospital was built on sixty acres for $30 million, it had fifty-one licensed beds, twenty-one outpatient beds, an MRI and a cardiac catheterization lab.[4][5]

2002-2005

[edit]

In August 2002, construction workers began expanding the second and third floors of Heart of Florida Regional Medical Center for $3.4 million.[6] In late January 2003, construction was finished on the hospital adding forty-five beds, that increased the total number of beds to 115.[6] In late October 2003, the cities of Davenport and Haines City wanted to annex the land that Heart of Florida Regional Medical Center was on. In the end the city of Davenport annexed the land.[7][8] In late November 2003, Heart of Florida Regional Medical Center broke ground on an $11 million, 38,000-square-foot addition.[5][9] It added a fifteen bed cardiac intensive care unit, it expanded its laboratory, upgraded and enlarged offices, added a cafeteria and a physician's lounge. It also added two operating theatres, expanded its anesthesia care unit from five beds to nine and added a surgery unit for ambulatory care.[9] In 2005, the hospital had 142 beds.[5]

2012-2014

[edit]

In 2012, Heart of Florida Regional Medical Center had 194 beds.[10] In early March, construction workers began a 31,000-square foot-expansion onto the fifth floor at the hospital for $9.5 million.[10] When the work was finished on the fifth floor, it included two operating theatres, a women's surgical suit with five beds, ten birthing suites, twenty post-partum beds and thirty-five beds for observation. The former women's and obstetrics space was taken over by the Acute Care for the Elderly unit and a fourteen room pediatrics unit.[10][11] In late June, Heart of Florida Regional Medical Center had a grand opening ceremony for its Women's Health Center and opened it to the public later the same week.[12] On July 30, 2013, Community Health Systems agreed to purchase Health Management Associates for $7.6 billion.[13][14] On January 24, 2014, the Federal Trade Commission approved the merger of Health Management Associates with Community Health Systems and two days later the merger was completed.[15][16][17]

2019-present

[edit]

On May 22, 2019, AdventHealth signed a definitive agreement to purchase Heart of Florida Regional Medical Center from Community Health Systems.[18][19][20] On September 1, AdventHealth officially took over the management of Heart of Florida Regional Medical Center,[21][22] it had purchased the hospital for $90 million [23] and renamed it AdventHealth Heart of Florida.[1]

On January 1, 2021, the United States government passed a law requiring all hospitals to have their chargemaster on its website.[24] In a survey done in 2022, the majority of hospitals in Florida including AdventHealth Heart of Florida had failed to comply with the new law.[24][25] It was not until early February 2023, that the hospital was in full compliance with the law.[26]

On November 2, 2022, AdventHealth Heart of Florida began a $7.5 million construction project to expand its emergency department and build a larger chapel. Also to renovate its outpatient and emergency registration areas. Construction was completed in November 2023.[27][28]

Off campus facilities

[edit]

On February 9, 2005, it opened the two-story medical office building Berry Physician's Plaza in Four Corners.[5][29] In August 2009, it opened Urgent Care Cypress in Winter Garden.[30][31] On October 18, 2017, the hospital had a groundbreaking ceremony for its freestanding emergency department in Winter Garden. Construction began on the 12,000-square-foot, Four Corners ER in November.[32][33] In March 2019, the freestanding emergency department opened to patients. In early September, AdventHealth purchased it from Community Health Systems for $9.6 million.[34][35]
