First step of 19,900-square-foot emergency room complete

The structural construction of AdventHealth’s standalone emergency room in Winter Haven has been completed.

The health care system marked the occasion Monday with a topping off ceremony at the Polk County facility. The plan is for the full project to be finished by next summer.

When complete, the 19,960-square-foot, one-story facility on Cypress Gardens Boulevard will include 24 rooms with 20 private rooms, two of which will be pediatric-friendly, as well as space for resuscitation, bariatrics, obstetrics and isolation.
