The 75-bed hospital will have 10 operating rooms, a 3D printer and a 116-seat theater classroom, and it will create roughly 350 to 400 healthcare jobs, according to the report. It will serve roughly 250,000 patients a year, with 11 appointments already booked for opening day. 

The hospital is part of Orlando Health’s new 375,000-square-foot, $300 million Orlando Health Jewett Orthopedic Institute’s downtown complex. The hospital is opening as phase 2 of the complex’s debut. 

Phase 1 opened in March with imaging, lab and pharmacy services; a 62-exam room clinic; an ASC; and a rehabilitation space.

Orlando Health also plans to open four new outpatient clinics in 2024, according to the report. 

At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
