Orlando area hospitals

The last thing that anyone wants to have happen on vacation is an unexpected trip to the hospital, but Orlando has a number of high quality hospitals in the region if travelers find themselves in a situation where they need to go to the emergency room.

Florida Hospital is comprised of eight campus locations, including Orlando, Altamonte Springs, Apopka, Celebration, East Orlando, Kissimmee, and Winter Park. The main Orlando campus is located on E. Rollins Street just off of North Orange Avenue; most of the major hospitals in the Orlando area can be accessed off of Interstate 4’s Princeton Ave. exit on the east side of the expressway. (Arnold Palmer Children’s Hospital and the Winnie Palmer Hospital for Women and Babies usually caters to local residents requiring long-term treatment or maternity services.

Orlando Regional Medical Center (ORMC) is central Florida’s only level one trauma center, so accident victims necessitating “flight for life” services are brought to ORMC. To reach ORMC from the Orlando attractions, take I-4 East to Exit 81BC at Kaley Avenue; the hospital is located off of Orange Avenue.

For non-emergency services, Florida Hospital operates a number of Centra Care walk-in clinics throughout the Orlando area. And although nobody wants to spend any part of their vacation at a walk-in clinic or hospital, it is always good to know that the services are there when people need them.
