Lake Mary Welcomes New Hospital Amid Tornado Challenges
Lake Mary, Florida, has just taken a giant leap towards improving community health with the opening of Orlando Health Lake Mary Hospital. This exciting development comes at a time when the city is also recovering from the aftermath of a rare EF2 tornado that recently touched down, causing significant damage yet miraculously leaving the community injury-free.
A 40-Year Commitment to Health
The new hospital is not just another building; it represents Orlando Health’s dedication to the local community for over four decades. Located in Seminole County, this comprehensive acute care facility boasts impressive features that are set to cater to a wide range of medical needs.
Your Health Under One Roof
With a total of 124 beds and a potential expansion to accommodate up to 240 beds, the hospital has made sure to design a space that can grow with the community’s needs. Whether requiring cardiovascular care, general surgery, orthopedic services, or specialized women’s services like labor and delivery, patients can find it all under one roof.
State-of-the-Art Facilities
The hospital is equipped with advanced facilities that include operating rooms, catheterization labs, interventional radiology areas, and even a dedicated vascular lab! It’s also home to a full-service emergency department and an ICU. For expectant mothers, the women’s services department features six private suites that make the birthing process as comfortable as possible. These suites come with amenities like hydrotherapy tubs and wireless monitoring systems to ensure both mothers and babies are well taken care of.
Convenience for Patients and Families
Focusing on comfort and convenience, the hospital offers visiting hours from 5:00 am to 9:00 pm. Friends and family can visit their loved ones without the stress of restricted hours. A nearby parking lot eases access, and there is even a valet service available for those who prefer an extra hand. Plus, no one needs to worry about going hungry— the hospital cafeteria serves a variety of meals and snacks from 5:30 am to 10:00 pm each day!
Insurance and Access
Whether you have private health insurance or are part of a managed care program, Orlando Health Lake Mary Hospital accepts a wide range of plans. It’s wise to check in with your insurer to confirm coverage— that way, patients can focus on healing rather than paperwork.
Modern Health Management
In this digital age, the hospital also provides a convenient way for patients to manage their health. With MyChart, patients can access personal health information online. From viewing medications and test results to scheduling appointments, it’s all just a click away! For those who prefer virtual visits, telehealth options are also available, making healthcare even more accessible.
Community Resilience
Looking Ahead
In addition to weather-related challenges, the Lake Mary City Commission has been proactive in responding to community concerns, recently voting to remove fluoride from the city’s water supply. This decision is projected to save the city significant funds while addressing public feedback, highlighting how civic engagement can lead to positive change. Over the next month or so, residents can expect the final flush of fluoride from the water systems.
As Lake Mary embraces this new chapter with its hospital, it also demonstrates a spirit of resilience and community. Here’s to better health and a brighter future for Lake Mary residents!
