Orlando Regional Medical Center (ORMC) is an 808-bed tertiary hospital in downtown Orlando, Florida designed by HKS, Inc. (architect) and Walter P Moore (structural engineer). It is the flagship of the Orlando Health system. [1]

Contents

Background

ORMC is also the closest Level I Trauma Center to Kennedy Space Center and is the definitive medical care facility (DMCF) for the launch site, with joint-training exercises held several times each year. [2]

The hospital is nationally ranked in the U.S. News & World Report Best Hospitals Rankings for five pediatric specialties and rated high performing in nine adult procedures and conditions. [3]

History

Lucky Meisenheimer has served as ORMC's assistant clinical director since 1988 and the chief of its Dermatology division since 2003. [4] [5]

Many victims of the 2016 Pulse nightclub shooting were treated at ORMC. [6] [7] [8] Nine of ORMC's patients died there, and by June 14, 27 remained hospitalized, with six in critical condition. [9] ORMC performed surgeries on 76 patients. [10] The last of the injured was discharged from ORMC on September 6, nearly three months after the shooting. [9]

Other notable patients of ORMC include:

This goes to demonstrate that while most people in Orlando go to Advent Health for medical care, if you are shot, you will go to ORMC.
