Hospital Description
AdventHealth Apopka is an acute-care 120 bed community hospital located in Orange County, just a short drive from Orlando, Florida. Founded in 1975, we provide a wide array of inpatient and outpatient services, ranging from critical care to specialized emergency medicine. We believe in a whole person philosophy of care that seeks to create a true partnership with the residents of Apopka designed to help them live a healthier, fuller life – in mind, body and spirit.
Community Description
Apopka is also known as the “indoor foliage capital of the world” because of its multi-million dollar foliage industry. In the city's 24.9 square miles much of the land outside of the commercial and residential area is still used for agriculture. Located in both Orange and Seminole counties (but predominately in Orange County), Apopka borders Altamonte Springs and is also located 12 miles northwest of the popular tourist destination, Orlando. The estimated population is 37,000, and Apopka is noted for being home to the 2001 baseball U.S. Little League champions. Apopka is currently one of the fastest growing areas in central Florida due to new construction on Florida State Road 429 (Daniel Webster Western Beltway), a major highway in the area.
