Nestled among the oak-shaded, brick-paved streets of one of the most picturesque hometowns in the country, Winter Park Memorial Hospital has continuously served the residents of Winter Park and its surrounding communities for more than 50 years. Chartered in 1951, the hospital has grown from the visionary efforts of a handful of Winter Park residents and community leaders, to a 297-bed acute care facility that is a model of community health and wellness. Over the years the hospital has continually expanded to meet the needs of the community, adding an upscale obstetrics and Level II Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at The Dr. P. Phillips Baby Place, cancer care at the Florida Hospital Cancer Institute, Winter Park, and state-of-the-art surgery, recovery and rehabilitation at the Florida Hospital Orthopaedic Institute. Last year, over 15,000 patients were treated at Winter Park Memorial Hospital, including 2,400 baby deliveries and 39,000 at the Emergency Department. In addition, over 8,700 surgical procedures were performed. The hospital employs over 1,400 workers including nurses, technicians and support staff. Over 200 doctors practice at the hospital, including a complete in-house staff of some of the most highly-qualified physicians and specialists in the area.
