Orlando Healthcare Guide: Hospitals, County Clinics and EMS

No deeper Orlando healthcare guides exist yet, and this page covers Orlando hospitals, county clinics and emergency medical service on its own.

The industry side of Orlando medicine has its own pages. The Orlando biotech and medical city industry guide covers the Lake Nona life sciences cluster, and the Orlando healthcare and military simulation guide covers the Lake Nona training centers and the Central Florida Research Park. Neither repeats the patient-side facts on this hub.

The federal hospital file lists eight hospitals with an Orlando address in Orange County, and five of them, from Orlando Health to Nemours, report emergency services.

The table comes from the Hospital General Information file that the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services publishes, filtered to an Orlando city address (CMS). The filter is the file's own city field, set to ORLANDO, and all eight rows give Orange County as the county; the file does not mark which hospitals sit inside the City of Orlando limits.

The federal file registers the downtown Orlando Health campus under the single name Orlando Health at 52 W Underwood St, phone (321) 841-5111, and AdventHealth Orlando at 601 E Rollins St, phone (407) 303-1976 (CMS). Both are listed as voluntary non-profit private hospitals, while UCF Lake Nona Hospital and Central Florida Behavioral Hospital are listed as proprietary (CMS).

The CMS file is the place to confirm a name, address or emergency department, not a ranking, and this hub does not rate hospitals. For a list of services at a given Orlando hospital, the hospital itself is the source.

The Orlando VA Medical Center, Nemours Childrens Hospital, Florida and UCF Lake Nona Hospital all list ZIP code 32827 in the CMS file, and the VA calls its campus the Orlando VA Medical Center in Lake Nona.

The CMS file places Nemours at 6535 Nemours Pkwy, phone (407) 567-4000, UCF Lake Nona Hospital at 6700 Lake Nona Blvd, and the VA at 13800 Veterans Way, phone (407) 631-1000 (CMS). That cluster is the patient-facing part of what the Orlando biotech and medical city industry guide calls the Lake Nona Medical City.

The VA lists its Lake Nona address as 13800 Veterans Way, Orlando, FL 32827-5812. The facility is open 24/7, and the Emergency Department is open 24/7, 365 days a year, with no appointment required (VA). The VA also names other sites for imaging services, at Lake Baldwin, Viera and Daytona as well as Lake Nona (VA).

A practical point for Lake Nona: the same 32827 ZIP code holds two emergency departments outside the VA system, at UCF Lake Nona Hospital and at Nemours, the childrens hospital, both marked Yes for emergency services in the CMS list (CMS).

Orange County government describes the Primary Care Access Network (PCAN) as family doctors, walk-in clinics and other medical services, most of them in Orange County, whose medical homes see patients with and without insurance.

PCAN lists five medical homes with phone numbers: Community Health Centers 407-905-8827, Grace Medical Home 407-936-2785, Orange Blossom Health 407-428-5751, Orange County Medical Clinic 407-836-7100 and True Health 407-322-8645 (Orange County).

The Orange County Medical Clinic is at 101 S. Westmoreland Drive, Orlando 32805, phone (407) 836-7100. Clinic hours are Monday to Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and pharmacy patient hours are Monday to Friday 8 a.m. to 4:15 p.m., closed from noon to 12:30 p.m. (Orange County Medical Clinic).

The Orange County clinic serves eligible adult Orange County residents with primary care, specialty care, nurse case management, pharmacy services, diagnostic testing and labs (Orange County). The eligibility list is strict. Gross family income may not exceed 125% of the current Federal Poverty Level, the applicant must not have a medical home or current primary care provider, must have a social security number, must document 30 days of permanent residency in Orange County, and may not have any health insurance, including Medicaid, Medicare or VA benefits (Orange County).

Applicants bring a valid ID with a current address, proof of U.S. legal status, proof of Orange County residency and proof of four weeks of income; an eligibility interview follows (Orange County). The clinic rules exclude anyone with Medicaid, Medicare or VA benefits, while PCAN says its medical homes see patients with and without insurance; the clinic eligibility team answers at 407-836-2638 (Orange County).

Inside the City of Orlando, the Orlando Fire Department answers medical emergencies and transports patients, and every Orlando firefighter is a certified EMT or paramedic.

The department describes its Emergency Medical Services as treatment and transport of patients with illnesses and injuries, and its communications center has call takers who handle emergency and non-emergency calls on a computer aided dispatch system and radio dispatchers on an 800 MHz radio system (City of Orlando). Its listed contact phone is 407.246.FIRE (3473); emergencies go to 9-1-1 (City of Orlando).

The workload figures on the Orlando Fire Department page are old. The page still reports that in 2015 the department responded to more than 60,000 emergency incidents, of which more than 20,000 were medical transports, and it posts no newer count as of October 18, 2026 (City of Orlando). Those numbers describe the city a decade ago, not the current call load.

For scale, BLS puts Education and Health Services employment in the Orlando-Kissimmee-Sanford metro area at a preliminary 207.1 thousand jobs in August 2026, out of a preliminary 1,508.3 thousand total nonfarm jobs, not seasonally adjusted (BLS).

The Florida Department of Health in Orange County answers at 407-858-1400, and the state Agency for Health Care Administration runs Florida Health Finder for checking licensed facilities.

DOH-Orange issues copies of Florida birth certificates from 1930 to the present through the state Bureau of Vital Statistics; orders go online through VitalChek, by mail or in person at the Department of Health in Orange County (DOH-Orange).

Florida Health Finder covers hospitals, nursing homes, assisted living facilities, home health agencies, hospice and physicians, with a Locate Facility search and a Hospital Compare tool (AHCA). A search across all facility types needs a name, city, ZIP code, county, license number or AHCA field office, and each provider profile carries a Legal Actions section (AHCA). A search on the city name Orlando reaches clinics and other licensed facilities that the federal hospital file does not cover.
