About Our Hospital

Founded in 1916 as Morrell Memorial Hospital, our 849-bed, comprehensive tertiary referral hospital operates a Level II Trauma Center, a Level II Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and the nation’s busiest single-site Emergency Department.

Our Medical Center handles over 2,100 trauma visits annually and holds accreditations for its Advanced Primary Stroke Center and Chest Pain Center. Three hybrid operating rooms and a catheterization lab offer patients the least invasive surgeries possible and enhanced safety.

Our hospital has received national recognition for our outstanding work, processes and technology. Our Emergency Department has earned the 2014 Innovation of the Year from the Florida Hospital Association and the 2014 EmCare Genesis Cup Award. Lakeland Regional Health has been named a Most Wired hospital four times, twice earning Most Wired Advanced status, from the American Hospital Association’s Health Forum.

In 2015, the state-of-the-art, 32-bed Bannasch Institute for Advanced Rehabilitation Medicine opened on the Medical Center Campus to provide evidence-based, innovative inpatient therapeutic rehabilitation services designed to dramatically improve patient outcomes.

The single largest expansion project on the Medical Center Campus, the Carol Jenkins Barnett Pavilion for Women and Children, opened on June 2, 2018. The Pavilion is designed to deliver clinical excellence and family-centered care for children and women of all ages, using best practices and state-of-the-art technology while offering privacy, comfort and elegance that redefines personalized care.
