Florida Hospital Orlando was established in 1908 in a two-story farmhouse with 20 beds bought by a group of Seventh-day Adventists. In the years that followed, Florida Hospital Orlando became one of the first hospitals in the country to install a CT scanner and the first in the state to feature digital mammography. Florida Hospital extended its mission beyond its four walls by creating the Health Village, a 172-acre planned community in downtown Orlando with a goal of improving population health. Features of Health Village include a medical office building, apartment complex, fitness center, SunRail commuter rail station and Eden: The Spa for Image Discovery, which offers services geared toward cancer patients.
