AdventHealth Daytona Beach
History
1961-2009
In 1961, city commissioner John B. Sterthaus donated 15 acres for a hospital, in honor of Ormond Beach, Florida and his son, Sgt. George J. Sterthaus, who was killed in active service during World War II. On April 23, 1967, five thousand people attended a dedication ceremony for Ormond Beach Memorial Hospital, including mayor Ernest Cassen, attorney Melvin Orfinger and American Legion Post 267. On May 1, Ormond Beach Memorial Hospital opened with four stories. In 1980, the hospital's first open heart surgery took place.
In late May 2000, Memorial Health Systems chose to merge with Adventist Health System. It had to be approved by both of the hospital networks boards, and by regulators from Florida and the federal government. In early October 2005, Halifax Medical Center signed an agreement with Florida Hospital a subsidiary of Adventist Health System, allowing it to build a new hospital only ten minutes away in Daytona Beach, Florida effectively ending a two year turf war. In 2006, Florida Hospital Ormond Memorial was put up for sale, that year it was appraised at $34.3 million. In 2008, the sale price for the hospital was $16 million.
On July 14, 2009, 100 patients were moved from Florida Hospital Ormond Memorial in Ormond Beach to Florida Hospital Memorial Medical Center in Daytona Beach. The 12-story, 718,000-square-foot Florida Hospital Memorial Medical Center cost $270 million to build, it opened with 277 beds and 32 of them being for a birthcare center. The hospital was built on 135 acres next to Interstate 95. After moving to Daytona Beach the hospital doubled its size, when it was in Ormond Beach it was only 330,000-square-foot and its seven-story tower had 205 beds. The reason why the hospital chose to move to Daytona Beach was because it wanted to be closer to Interstate 95 for visibility purposes, since its former location was in a wooded area.
2010-2012
In October 2010, a Cancer Institute opened on the campus of Florida Hospital Memorial Medical Center. In December, a Volusia County circuit court judge ruled against descendents of John B. Sterthaus who had sued Adventist Health System, they claimed that the property could only be used for a hospital. The reason for the decision was that the deed restriction had expired when the donor died. In 2011, Florida Hospital Ormond Memorial was reappraised at $3.9 million, while the sale price also was lowered to $8.9 million. Florida Hospital was still using fifty-seven percent of Florida Hospital Ormond Memorial for storage in 2011, the rest of the property they were required to pay property taxes on. Juan Yang from Beijing wanted the property in 2011, for a nursing home or other health care use.
On July 22, 2012, Florida Hospital Ormond Memorial was demolished at 7:30 a.m. with 150 sticks of dynamite Eighty-five percent of the hospital was recycled. The reason for hospital being demolished was due to the bad economy, a buyer could not be found for it. The city mayor hoped that it could have been used as a veterans' hospital or assisted living facility. On January 4, 2013, Florida Hospital sold the 27.6 acres that Florida Hospital Ormond Memorial had been on for $2 million to Buddy LaCour and investors. On the acres a clubhouse, health club and 280 condominium units are to be built.
In early December 2012, Kangaroo Express donated $110,000 to Florida Hospital Pink Army for its fight against breast cancer. Florida Hospital Memorial Medical Center received about $24,000 of that money donated.
2014-2019
In late May 2014, Florida Hospital Memorial Medical Center announced that it would be expanding onto its vacant eleventh floor. It will have a thirty-four bed long-term acute care facility, the facility will be operated by Selet Medical Corporation from Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania. It was approved by the Government of Florida in March, the construction cost of the unit would be $7.2 million and it would open in the summer. In 2014, construction workers built the Center for Health and Wellness on campus. After completion it offered cardiac rehabilitation and diabetes education. In 2015, it received a 6,500-square-foot expansion that doubled its size at a cost of $1.3 million. After expansion was completed at the Center for Health and Wellness in early January 2016, it added a daycare and a health club with such class as spin and yoga.
In late September 2015, Florida Hospital Memorial Medical Center was expanding by 16,300-square-foot on the fourth floor. They were doing this for a new $10 million neonatal intensive care unit, to keep parents with their babies who were born prematurely or with complications. In August 2016, the neonatal intensive care unit opened with 16 beds. And work continued in September, for another $10 million, to add 34 private beds for women and children in the pediatric intensive care unit. On May 11, 2017, the Center for Women and Children opened, increasing the number of beds from 293 to 327. On June 29, Jamie McMurray helped to dedicate the inpatient pediatric playroom which has murals of racecars on its walls.
On January 2, 2019, Florida Hospital Memorial Medical Center rebranded to AdventHealth Daytona Beach. In late May, it was announced that a Timmy's Playroom would be added to the fourth floor of AdventHealth Daytona Beach. Making it the very first hospital in the hospital network to be chosen. All total the cost of the playroom would be $145,000. It would taking over the space where the neonatal intensive care unit used to be. Its floor will be designed to look like an american football field and there will be lockers for seating. In the playroom the children will have video games and toys to play with, they also will have tables to make arts and crafts. Each room in the playroom will have Tim Tebow's most favorite Bible verse, Philippians 4:13. On July 30, the Tim Tebow Foundation opened its 10th playroom at AdventHealth Daytona Beach.
2021-present
On January 1, 2021, the United States government required all hospitals to have their chargemaster on its website. In early February 2023, almost all of the AdventHealth hospitals had their chargemaster on their website, including AdventHealth Daytona Beach.
On February 1, 2023, construction workers began building a $45.7 million three story 60,000-square-foot medical office building/ambulatory surgery center on the campus of AdventHealth Daytona Beach. On the first floor the AdventHealth Medical Group will have a cardiac rehabilitation clinic and the North Florida Surgeons will have a surgical clinic. On the second floor the Cardiology Physicians Group will have a cardiology clinic. On the third floor there will be the ambulatory surgery center that will be used by all three groups and by independent physicians. The ambulatory surgery center will have four operating rooms and two catheterization laboratories for physicians to use. The building is a joint venture between the hospital and Meadows & Ohly. In late November, the building was topped off. On April 11, 2024, AdventHealth Daytona Beach had a grand opening of AdventHealth Surgery Center and Medical Office Building.
On April 24, 2024, AdventHealth Daytona Beach announced a construction project to expand the hospital by 240,000-square-foot at a cost of $220,000. Its two towers will be getting taller, one will have four stories added and the other will have just one story added. AdventHealth Daytona Beach will be adding 104 beds to its facility, this will increase the number of beds from 362 to 466. The hospital will be expanding its sterile processing department, its neuro intensive care unit and its cardiovascular intensive care unit. A new pharmacy and laboratory will be built and the number of operating rooms will increase form eighteen to twenty-two. Also AdventHealth Daytona Beach will be purchasing new CT scanners and MRI scanners. On July 22, construction workers from Robins & Morton began construction on the smaller tower and work on the larger tower will begin a few weeks later. To celebrate the event a Japanese blueberry tree was planted on the campus of AdventHealth Daytona Beach.
Mercy killing
On January 21, 2023, Ellen Gilland of New Smyrna Beach, Florida fatally shot her terminally ill husband Jerry Gilland in the head, shortly before 11:30 a.m. After a four hour standoff with SWAT and hostage negotiation teams from the Daytona Beach Police Department, they took her into custody by using a flash-bang device and a bean bag gun. Originally the police had tried to use a stun gun on her, which failed, causing her to shoot into the ceiling of her husbands room. During the standoff, AdventHealth Daytona Beach employees evacuated patients on the eleventh floor close to the shooting. Ellen Gilland was later charged with first-degree murder and three counts of aggravated assault. In late February, a grand jury found her guilty on lesser charges of assisting self-murder/manslaughter. They agreed with the two counts of aggravated assault with a firearm and aggravated assault of a police officer. In early March, Ellen Gilland was released from the Volusia County Jail on a $150,000 bond.
As of early January 2024, she was still free on bail.
Services
In July 2018, construction workers began to renovate administration offices for a 32 bed rehabilitation center. On January 2, 2019, the rehabilitation center opened on its own floor. Before opening it operated temporary on the fourth and ninth floors of AdventHealth Daytona Beach. It offers physical therapy, speech therapy and occupational therapy.
