History

edit

1961-1995

edit

In 1961, Carrollwood Community Hospital was founded.[1] In 1989, Centurion Health of Carrollwood purchased the hospital which was in debt and changed its name to Centurion Hospital of Carrollwood.[1] Two years later Centurion Health of Carrollwood filed for bankruptcy and put Centurion Hospital of Carrollwood up for sale.[1]

In early July 1993, University Community Hospital agreed to purchase the hospital from Centurion Health of Carrollwood for $17.4 million. The sale had to be approved by creditors and the United States bankruptcy court.[1] In early November, University Community Hospital officially took over the management of Centurion Hospital of Carrollwood and renamed it to University Community Hospital-Carrollwood.[5]

On February 15, 1995, a physician did arthroscopy on the wrong knee of a woman,[6] University Community Hospital-Carrollwood settled the case with the woman out of court.[7] Also a physician mistakenly removed a woman's healthy ovary, while leaving the one that was diseased.[8] The woman threatened to sue the hospital, her mistake took place in November 1993. Her lawyer told the hospital that he was willing to settle the case for $1 million, University Community Hospital-Carrollwood considered the request to be blackmail.[9][10] The Agency for Health Care Administration ordered both University Community Hospital-Carrollwood, and its parent facility in Tampa University Community Hospital, to stop all elective surgeries on April 8, 1995.[11] In late April, the ban was lifted at midnight, after University Community Hospital-Carrollwood paid a $195,000 fine for its violations.[12][13]

2009-2019

edit

In 2009, an expansion and renovation project began at University Community-Carrollwood.[14] In the summer of 2010, phase one of construction was finished at the hospitals medical arts tower for $12.3 million. Three operating rooms were added to the second story increasing the number to nine. The third story was increased in size to 12,000-square-foot by renovating offices for a twenty-three intensive care unit and a progressive care unit.[15][16][17] On September 1, 2010, University Community Hospital-Carrollwood became part of Adventist Health System. This happened after University Community Health merged with Adventist Health System.[18][19][20] In late September 2011, University Community Hospital-Carrollwood was rebranded to Florida Hospital Carrollwood.[21]

In early January 2012, Stevens Construction started renovations at the hospital with the radiology department.[22] In late June 2013, construction workers finished renovating the fifth floor of Florida Hospital Carrollwood, and the hospital's surgical care unit with twenty-five private rooms opened in July on the newly renovated fifth floor.[23][24] In 2015, construction workers began to expand the surgical tower by 45,200-square-foot, and renovated the older 51,000-square-foot space. The tower was finished in January 2017 for $71 million.[25][26] In early April 2018, a $17.5 million expansion of the emergency department began at Florida Hospital Carrollwood.[27] The expanded Patel emergency department opened on December 19. It was named after Kiran C Patel who donated $5 million to the hospital.[28] [29] On January 2, 2019, Florida Hospital Carrollwood rebranded to AdventHealth Carrollwood.[30][31]

2021-present

edit

On January 1, 2021, the United States government passed a law requiring all hospitals to have their chargemaster on its website.[32] In a survey done in 2022, the majority of hospitals in Florida including AdventHealth Carrollwood had failed to comply with the new law.[32][33] It was not until early February 2023, that the hospital was in full compliance with the law.[34]

On February 1, 2021, The Weeknd donated 150 meals to AdventHealth Carrollwood for its employees, he did this to celebrate Black History Month. The meals were purchased at an african-american restaurant and were delivered by Postmates.[35][36][37]

In early February 2022, AdventHealth Carrollwood announced that it would renovate 25 patient rooms to treat COVID-19 patients. It will be 10,680-square-feet and coast $5.4 million. The money is part of a $285.9 million given to Hillsborough County from the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021.[38][39] On June 21, ThunderBug visited employees and patients at AdventHealth Carrollwood after the Tampa Bay Lightning won game 3 of the 2022 Stanley Cup Finals.[40][41]

In early February 2023, AdventHealth Carrollwood purchased 2.38 acres for $20.725 million. The reason why the hospital purchased the lot was for the 53,685-square-foot medical office building on it.[42]
