Effective July 1, 2020, Orlando Health has completed the acquisition of the 84-bed St. Cloud Regional Medical Center and its associated healthcare operations in St. Cloud, Florida from an affiliate of Community Health Systems. Orlando Health has held a 20 percent minority interest in the hospital for more than 15 years and with this transaction, the facility will now be referred to as Orlando Health St. Cloud Hospital.

“We are excited about fully integrating into the Orlando Health network,” said Brent Burish, president of Orlando Health St. Cloud Hospital. “This regional alignment further advances our ability to make a positive impact on the health of each and every person we serve in St. Cloud and Osceola County, particularly in today’s dynamic healthcare environment.”

Since 1964, St. Cloud Hospital has been providing high-quality healthcare to the county and surrounding areas. David Strong, president and chief executive officer of Orlando Health, shared the importance of a good healthcare system and stated the expanded relationship signals Orlando Health’s commitment to serving the St. Cloud and Osceola County community well.

“We are thankful to have St. Cloud Hospital become an important part of our organization.” Strong said.  “As Orlando Health thoughtfully expands its services, we look forward to increasing our presence in the Osceola region and working together with team members and physicians to continually improve patient experience and clinical quality outcomes.”
