New Medical Facility Opens
Orlando Health South Lake Hospital, located less than 1 mile from Summer Bay Orlando at 16966 Cagan Ridge Blvd, Clermont, opened in July bringing the first free-standing emergency department to the area, providing resort owners, guests, and area residents convenient access to comprehensive healthcare and outpatient services. Prior to the facility’ s opening, families who live, work, or stay in the Four Corners area and surrounding communities traveled between 10 to 15 miles to visit an emergency room.
“ With the continued growth this area has seen over the past decade, the Four Corners area has lacked access to healthcare, especially in emergency situations,” commented John Moore, Orlando Health South Lake Hospital president.“ As the healthcare leader in south Lake County, we recognized that need and our 11-acre medical pavilion will now allow us to provide high-quality, accessible emergency and outpatient care close to home for the residents and visitors in this four-county region.”
The Orlando Health South Lake Hospital Emergency Room and Medical Pavilion will operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week, staffed by board-certified emergency room physicians, registered nurses and a full support staff. Features include 12 treatment rooms, a specialized resuscitation room for infants, children and adults, diagnostic imaging such as ultrasound, x-ray and computed tomography( CT), laboratory services and a helipad for air care transfers from the facility if needed.
Outpatient services including diagnostic imaging, laboratory, and outpatient rehabilitation will be available Monday through Friday. A medical pavilion, including physician offices, will be located on the second floor of the facility and will include a variety of specialties. The medical pavilion is scheduled to open this winter.
In addition to the ER in the Four Corners area, South Lake Hospital expanded the hospital’ s emergency services at their main Clermont Campus and opened a second freestanding emergency room and medical pavilion earlier this summer, located in south Leesburg off of US Highway 27.
