Message from the CEO
Welcome to HCA Florida Aventura Hospital, your go-to hospital for emergency room care and more.
HCA Florida Aventura Hospital focuses on the needs of the communities we serve with compassion, kindness and clinical excellence.
Since its inception in 1965 as Golden Isle Hospital in Hallandale Beach, HCA Florida Aventura Hospital has continually made capital improvements and acquired the best healthcare talent and state-of-the-art technologies to meet the growing and expressed needs of our surrounding communities.
In recent years, a major capital investment initiative totaling $75.6 million was given to our facility, allowing us to expand the emergency room by 15,000 square feet, add 22 new exam rooms (resulting in a total of 48 treatment areas) and construct a new patient tower and parking garage (providing 60 private rooms and 513 additional parking spaces on campus).
These investments and other program development opportunities achieved over the past several years have provided the necessary infrastructure and workforce diversification and talent to meet the needs of the communities we serve, including (but not limited to) Aventura, Hallandale, Hollywood, Dania, North Miami Beach, Sunny Isles Beach, Bal Harbour, Surfside, South Beach and Miami Design District. In 2018 alone, HCA Florida Aventura Hospital treated 106,365 patients across all medical specialties, provided 63,466 emergency room visits and realized 20,315 hospital admissions.
HCA Florida Aventura Hospital's Level II Trauma Center has been proudly providing a needed access point for trauma care services with our Local EMS partners serving Northern Miami-Dade County since May 1, 2015. Our hospital is also part of Florida's first statewide network of trauma centers, developed as an affiliation between the University of South Florida and HCA Healthcare to improve access and outcomes of injured patients throughout the state. In addition, HCA Florida Aventura Hospital is recognized as a State of Florida-designated statutory teaching hospital, offering an extensive multispecialty-focused graduate medical education (GME) program in order to augment the supply of physicians needed for our growing region. Both of these examples of clinical programmatic development represent, amongst many other initiatives, the hospital's commitment to ensuring that the community receives best-in-class medical care.
The caring culture of our 467-bed acute care medical/surgical facility as supported by our 1,900+ employees and over 660 physicians exemplifies a call to service as shaped by our Mission, Vision and Value Statements:
Our hospital's healthcare team offers its continued promise to support the delivery of best-in-class service and care to our community and global visitors.
Respectfully yours,
David LeMonte
