Orlando Health Announces Plans to Build New ER and Medical Pavilion in Lake Mary
The City of Lake Mary and Orlando Health announced today plans to bring a new emergency room and medical pavilion to the community. The $42 million, 30-acre project will be part of a medical complex located in the city of Lake Mary on the northwest corner of Manderley Run and Rinehart Road.
“We are excited to partner with Orlando Health’s new development,”
said Lake Mary Mayor David Mealor. “The project offers
many benefits to the city, bringing with it more jobs,
both during construction and after it opens. Orlando Health’s medical complex
will give our community easier access to exceptional healthcare. It is an
organization that has proven its commitment to the community for nearly 100
years.”
Phase one of the project will include a four-story 90,000 square foot
emergency room and medical pavilion, featuring a freestanding
emergency room on the first floor that is provided as
a service of Orlando Health’s South Seminole Hospital. The free-standing
emergency room will include up to 24 exam
rooms, an imaging department, ambulance bays and a helipad.
“The Orlando Health emergency room and medical pavilion will be
designed to meet both current and future needs of this growing community,” said
Karen Frenier, president, South Seminole Hospital. “Our future
vision for the healthcare site includes an acute care hospital, additional
medical offices, a potential ambulatory surgery center and other health and
wellness concepts.”
Orlando Health’s investment in Lake Mary is located within the larger
New Century Development, a mixed use project planned to include office, hotel,
residential and retail elements. “We are very excited to have Orlando Health as
a major part of our mixed used development,” said Richard Toomey, Vice President
of LMLD, LLC. “The addition of this major healthcare component will create a
sustainable live, work and medical wellness town center and enable Lake Mary to
remain competitive in attracting top tier businesses to the city.”
The project’s groundbreaking is scheduled to occur later this year.
Plans call for phase one of the new healthcare campus to open in late fall
2018. For more information on Orlando Health’s new
