Orlando Health Dr. P. Phillips is a 285-bed facility with services including diagnostic imaging, cardiovascular care, orthopedic care, surgical services, and emergency medicine. The hospital opened an onsite Team Member Wellness Center in 2025 with a fitness facility, tranquility space, and wellness activities.
