Expansion, relocation and new
facilities characterize the changing face of healthcare in the
county. All three major providers, (Leesburg Regional
Medical Center, South Lake Hospital and Florida
Hospital-Waterman), along with relative newcomer Celebration
Health, give residents a wide range of choices for their medical
needs. It is no surprise that Lake County ranks 2nd only to
neighboring Orange County in the number of central Florida
hospital beds.
FLORIDA HOSPITAL-WATERMAN
 Lake
County's 2nd largest hospital was founded over 60 years ago when
it moved from Umatilla to Eustis. In 1994, shortly after
Waterman became affiliated with Florida Hospital and the Adventist
Health System, they began work on a new 123-acre facility on
Highway 441 in Tavares. Phase I, the Waterman Medical Plaza,
was completed in 1997 and houses x-ray labs, an outpatient surgery
center, mammography center and pharmacy, as well as physician
offices. A new
$129 million campus opened in 2003. The new state-of-the-art
facility holds 204 patient beds in a 5-story tower
including an emergency room, diagnostic area and cancer center.
Other significant advancements
in recent years include a new obstetrics center, enlarged
emergency room, a new progressive care unit, and a therapy
wellness department.
Florida Hospital Waterman's
health team offers a series of services and specialties combined
with the latest in medical technology. The Home Care Service
Program now has two branches in Leesburg and Eustis. They
recently added a Physical Therapy and Wellness Department, Cardiac
Catherization Lab and Endoscopy and Pain Management Center.

The hospital is in the midst of a $65 million expansion that will
add more services to meet the needs of the residents of Lake and
Sumter Counties.
Phase I of the expansion
includes a 15-bed Coronary/Cardiovascular ICU center, expansion of
the diagnostic and x-ray department and a larger
ambulatory/surgery area. A new Vascular & Interventional

patients non-operatively via radiolic imaging. The hospital

Admit-Discharge Center for patient care. And the New Life Care
Center for women offers 14 suites with accommodations for the
spouse.
