“OHI Wiregrass Ranch, Inc. has been formed to operate a new acute care hospital for the benefit of Pasco County, Florida, and its surrounding area. The organization will function as part of the Orlando Health system, which is an integrated healthcare system that provides an array of healthcare services to improve health and quality of life for the communities it serves.

As a newly formed affiliate of Orlando Health, Inc., the organization joins the system's century-long history of bringing world-class health care to many communities within Florida, Puerto Rico and most recently, Alabama. Although the hospital has not yet commenced providing health care services as the facility is still under construction, the organization's primary focus during FY25 was to prepare the hospital facility for operations, develop policies and procedures, establish relationships within the community, and recruit the personnel needed to care for its patients. Upon opening in 2026, our mission is to expand the range and grow the depth of healthcare services available to the communities of Pasco and Hillsborough counties. To achieve that, OHI Wiregrass Ranch, Inc. will have: * 102 beds at opening, with the potential to expand up to 300 beds * 29 emergency department exam rooms * 12 ICU beds * 9 operating rooms, including a hybrid room with advanced imaging capabilities * 2 catheterization labs * 2 complex digestive health endoscopy suites * 1 electrophysiology lab * 1 interventional radiology lab * 1 bronchoscopy suite * Full-service imaging Beyond these traditional healthcare programs and services it will offer, OHI Wiregrass Ranch, Inc. will demonstrate community benefit through the relationships it cultivates. These include joining community organizations and providing board members, committee members, advisory board members, and volunteers.”
