AdventHealth Lakeland is a planned non-profit hospital in Lakeland, Florida, United States by AdventHealth.
History
[edit]On September 7, 2017, Adventist Health System purchased 103 acres in Lakeland, Florida for $14.5 million for a hospital. The property is by Interstate 4 and west of Florida Polytechnic University.[1][2][3]
On August 30, 2024, AdventHealth announced that it wanted to build a 10-story, 720-square-foot hospital with 400-beds. The 200 acre hospital campus will also have free-standing emergency department, a 200,000-square-foot medical office building, heliport, parking garage, rehabilitation building, commercial/retail space and 250 apartment flat.[4][5] On September 16, the Lakeland City Commission approved zoning changes for AdventHealth Lakeland by a vote of 5 to 1.[6][7] AdventHealth also had to get approval from the Federal Aviation Administration, because the hospital would be in the flight path of Lakeland Linder International Airport.[6] Some local residents were worried that the hospital would make traffic worse for them. In response to these concerns the city widened the road where the hospital would be built and other intersection improvements.[8]
