Originally founded in 1941, the hospital now operates 282 licensed beds following a $12.3 million expansion completed in April 2024. It has earned consecutive Healthgrades America's 100 Best Hospitals awards from 2024 through 2026, including national recognition for stroke care, coronary intervention, and critical care.

Here's something every prospective Hunter's Creek homebuyer should know before signing on the dotted line: proximity to excellent healthcare isn't just a quality-of-life consideration — for many families, it's a dealbreaker. And in that department, Kissimmee delivers. AdventHealth Kissimmee sits roughly 8–10 miles north of Hunter's Creek, making it the go-to full-service hospital for residents of this beloved master-planned community.
We're not talking about a small community clinic. AdventHealth Kissimmee is a nationally award-winning, 282-bed hospital with a decades-long history of serving Osceola County families. Whether you need emergency care at 2 a.m. or scheduled cardiovascular surgery, this hospital has the infrastructure and the accolades to back it up.
A Hospital With Deep Roots — Founded in 1941
Most people are surprised to learn that AdventHealth Kissimmee has been part of the community since 1941. Originally founded as Kissimmee Hospital and Clinic, the facility went through several expansions and name changes over the decades before Florida Hospital acquired it in 1993 and eventually rebranded it as AdventHealth Kissimmee when the entire AdventHealth network unified under one name.
What that history means for you as a resident: this isn't a pop-up urgent care still working out the kinks. AdventHealth Kissimmee has grown alongside the region — adding an expanded emergency department in 2014, a major patient tower in 2015, and most recently a 30,400-square-foot floor expansion in April 2024 that brought the licensed bed count to 282 and created approximately 100 new jobs.

The Services That Matter Most to Families
AdventHealth Kissimmee offers a genuinely comprehensive suite of medical services. Here's what stands out for Hunter's Creek residents and families considering a move to the area:
Emergency Care — 24/7, No Exceptions
The emergency department operates around the clock, every day of the year. A 2014 expansion grew the ER to over 22,500 square feet and added dedicated trauma rooms and pediatric treatment areas. For a family-centric community like Hunter's Creek, that pediatric capacity matters — accidents don't keep business hours, and a fully equipped emergency department 15–20 minutes away gives parents real peace of mind.
Cardiovascular & Stroke Care
Heart health is one of AdventHealth Kissimmee's crown jewels. The hospital has earned Healthgrades' America's 100 Best Hospitals for Coronary Intervention Award three years running (2024–2026) and holds the America's 100 Best Hospitals for Stroke Care Award for the same stretch. It's also a designated primary stroke center — important because in stroke treatment, every minute counts, and having a certified stroke center roughly 15 minutes from Hunter's Creek can make an enormous difference in outcomes. The hospital recently added Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI), bringing advanced cardiac care closer to home.
Cancer Care & Surgery
The oncology program covers prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up — so residents can manage care locally rather than commuting to a major medical center. On the surgical side, the hospital has earned Healthgrades recognition for gastrointestinal surgery, prostate surgery, and spine surgery outcomes, reflecting a broad and capable surgical team. Minimally invasive options (gallbladder, hernia, knee arthroscopy, and more) are available for appropriate candidates.
National Awards You Can Actually Trust
Healthcare marketing is filled with vague superlatives, so it's worth being specific. According to Healthgrades' outcome-based methodology, AdventHealth Kissimmee has received all of the following in 2024, 2025, and/or 2026:
- America's 100 Best Hospitals Award
- America's 100 Best Hospitals for Coronary Intervention Award
- America's 100 Best Hospitals for Critical Care Award
- America's 100 Best Hospitals for Stroke Care Award
- America's 100 Best Hospitals for Gastrointestinal Care Award
- America's 100 Best Hospitals for Pulmonary Care Award
- Neurosciences Excellence Award
These rankings are based on measurable clinical outcomes — patient mortality, complications, and readmission rates — not self-reported data. For any family evaluating a neighborhood, those credentials carry real weight. For more details on Kissimmee's broader healthcare landscape, visit our Kissimmee health and wellness guide.
