Altamonte Springs-based nonprofit health system AdventHealth has started to build out the fifth floor of the 120-bed hospital with 38 new acute care beds and four dialysis bays. The work will bring the hospital to more than 158 licensed beds.

The hospital hit 6,900 admissions in 2022, up 20% since 2019.

“As our west Orange communities continue to grow, we are committed to keeping pace by adding specialty care to meet the needs of this community.”

The 30,321-square-foot space will be finished by May and will create 20 new jobs in the hospital.

The Larkin Community Hospital Palm Springs Campus in Hialeah could expand with a new medical office building.

The City Council will consider several variances for the project on the 14.4-acre site at 1475 West 49th Place on Oct. 24. It currently has a three-story 247-bed hospital that was built in 1964, along with a seven-story, 38,000-square-foot medical office building.

South Miami-based Larkin Community Hospital, led by CEO Dr. Jack Michel, acquired the former Palm Springs General Hospital property in 2016.

In the proposal, the hospital aims to build another seven-story medical office building totaling 161,300 square feet. It’s seeking waivers to build seven stories, instead of the three stories permitted, and provide 725 parking spaces, instead of the 768 normally required for a project of that size.
