Orlando Health Jewett Orthopedic Institute
Overview
According to the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, the number of hip and knee replacements in the United States is projected to increase by more than 170% in the next ten years. With the acquisition of a major central Florida orthopedic practice, Orlando Health has created a new institute to act upon this increase in demand and is dedicating a large portion of their campus to it.
A new eight-story orthopedic hospital will offer hotel-style concierge services and a diagnostic center that provides immediate lab and imaging results. The hospital facility features 10 virtually connected ORs, 16 PACU bays, 18 open pre-opp bays, 10 Stage II recovery bays, three floors of 25 inpatient med/surg beds each, support spaces, offices, central sterile processing, satellite pharmacy, and shell space for a future auditorium, conference rooms, residents space, a bio-skills lab and mini CEP.
Features
The adjoining seven-story building houses an ambulatory surgery center on the second and third floors providing minor procedures rooms, 12 ORs and additional spaces. The other five floors serve as a medical office building, housing registration, pharmacy, cafe, imaging, exam rooms, procedure and cast rooms, plus two x-rays areas and a large rehabilitation gym.
Two pedestrian walkways connect the second floor of the ambulatory surgery center to the parking garage and main Orlando Regional Medical Center.
