Orlando Health is expanding its commitment to advanced weight-loss care with plans to build a new dedicated home for the Orlando Health Weight Loss and Bariatric Surgery Institute in downtown Orlando.
The 28,000-square-foot, two-story facility will bring together Orlando Health’s leading bariatric services under one roof, offering:
- Weight-loss surgery
- Endoscopic procedures
- Obesity medicine
- Revision and conversion procedures
- Robotic-assisted procedures
- Surgical body contouring
Comprehensive Care in One Convenient Location
The institute facility also will house dedicated spaces for:
- Psychiatry and nutrition programs – including group meeting rooms and a demonstration kitchen
- Bioskills Lab – an advanced training environment for medical professionals
“As our community grows, so does our commitment to expanding access to high-quality healthcare,” said Cary D’Ortona, president of Orlando Health Medical Group. “We are excited to bring this vision to life in downtown Orlando.”
A Life-Changing Resource for Patients
Located at 55 W. Gore Street, the new institute will serve patients across the southeastern U.S.
“The weight-loss journey is transformative and involves multiple stages,” said Andre Teixeira, MD, bariatric surgeon and president of the institute. “By bringing our surgical, medical and research specialists together in one centralized location, we are enhancing the patient experience every step of the way.”
