ORLANDO HEALTH FOUNDATION, INC.
ORLANDO, FLORIDA

Orlando Health Foundation, Inc., founded in 1982, is a pivotal organization committed to enhancing healthcare services in Central Florida. With its roots tracing back over 25 years due to the community’s need for specialized medical care for children and women, it played a foundational role in establishing the region's first freestanding children’s hospital (Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children) and the only women’s hospital (Winnie Palmer Hospital for Women & Babies). Today, Orlando Health Foundation continues its mission by supporting patient care services that save and improve lives through financial support from donors. Distinguished as a community-owned not-for-profit hospital, all available revenues of this organization are reinvested into programs, state-of-the-art equipment, facilities, and medical staff. The foundation’s initiatives include partnering in efforts with individuals, foundations, and organizations to secure funds crucial for maintaining the high standards of Orlando Health services. Orlando Health provides vital healthcare services including Central Florida’s only Level One Trauma Center, its highest-level Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, and is part of a comprehensive statewide cancer treatment and research system in collaboration with University of Florida Health. These advanced facilities reflect the Foundation's dedication to community health needs since 1918. Despite challenges faced by healthcare entities nationwide such as low reimbursements for Medicaid and Medicare patients, Orlando Health remains mission-driven, bolstered by philanthropic contributions which support life-saving technologies like mobile C-spine collars, portable fluoroscopy units, and handheld ultrasound devices critical in trauma care. These tools are instrumental in emergency interventions post-trauma incidents. Located at 1414 Kuhl Avenue, MP 2, Orlando, Florida, the foundation maintains a significant presence within Orange County. It holds the status of a Florida non-profit corporation (DOMNP) with its most recent company activity on May 4, 2021, involving a merger event. The organization's operations are overseen by dedicated officers such as John Miller, Treasurer; John Bozard, Chairman; and Erick Hawkins, Director.
