Background
Orlando Health is a nonprofit healthcare organization that spans nine Florida counties with nearly 450 locations. In early 2020, Orlando Health and Jewett Orthopedic Clinic united to bring together the top orthopedic and sports medicine practices in the region. This partnership was the catalyst for a premier destination orthopedic facility dedicated to the latest and safest technologies in orthopedic care as well as outstanding customer service and exceptional patient outcomes.
Solution
Orlando Health engaged Hammes Healthcare as project manager for the new Orlando Health Jewett Orthopedic Institute, which broke ground in November 2020. Despite challenges related to the COVID pandemic, the project met its targeted August 2023 completion date. Smart patient rooms and an education and research center were additions to the project that Hammes helped successfully incorporate within the initial budget and timeline.
The new facility consists of a 197,170 SF inpatient hospital with 75 beds and 10 ORs; a 64,900 SF ASC comprised of 12 ORs; and a 108,600 SF MOB featuring 67 exam rooms, outpatient rehab, sports medicine, sports performance, retail pharmacy, and café.
The hospital is the first dedicated orthopedic specialty hospital in the state of Florida and is intended to serve as the premier destination orthopedic facility dedicated to the latest and safest technologies in orthopedic care.
