Major Facility Expansion
From the beginning, this massive project has been designed with patients and families in mind.
To facilitate quick and easy access throughout the construction process, Winter Haven Hospital’s 287-car parking structure has been completed. A temporary entrance/exit near the parking structure is now open and in use. Meanwhile, construction continues on the new 60,000 square-foot expansion to the front of the hospital.
When completed, the beautiful new Volunteer Auxilary Grand Lobby will create the kind of healing environment we believe our community should expect from a first-class healthcare organization. One of the first things guests will notice is a welcome and information desk. Adjacent to this area, a soothing water feature will have a pond that appears to flow from the interior to the exterior of the lobby. A healing garden, located on the south end of the lobby, will complete the relaxing and tranquil atmosphere.
