History

In the 1900s Lydia and Rufus Parmele went to Orlando in hopes of opening a sanitarium like the one Lydia was trained in (Battle Creek Sanitarium). The couple and the Florida Conference of Seventh-day Adventists the Seventh-day Adventist Church searched for a potential location for the sanitarium with only $4.83.[3] However, after some fundraising they purchased a two-story house for $9,000. On October 1, 1908, they opened the doors of the Florida Sanitarium or the Florida Tuberculosis Sanitarium.[4][5] The hospital was run as a sanatorium that focused on treatments that included sunshine, rest, and the water cure (which connects itself to the principle of Water in the Seventh-day Adventist health mission titled Creation Life).[6]

On January 2, 2019, Florida Hospital Orlando changed its name to AdventHealth Orlando.[7] In October 2020, 1,800 solar panel carport was installed at AdventHealth Orlando on top of its McRae parking garage. It can charge over thirty-two electric cars. It will create 1.3 million kilowatts yearly and will save over $4.6 million in energy costs.[8][9][10]

In early February 2023, Loma Linda University School of Medicine partnered with AdventHealth Orlando, which will allow students to complete their third and fourth years at the hospital.[11][12]
