Eustis is getting a new emergency room. Orlando Health Emergency Room, Eustis, a freestanding emergency department at the corner of Dillard Road and U.S. Highway 441, is listed by the health system as coming soon, with an opening in 2026. Its address is 15719 U.S. Highway 441.

The building's exterior was finished in May, when Orlando Health said the facility would open to patients in the fall. The health system says the ER is meant to bring emergency care closer to where people in Eustis and the neighboring Lake County communities live and work.

What is inside

The 11,000-square-foot building will be open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, for adults and children. Orlando Health lists:

  • 10 private patient care beds
  • A dedicated cardiac and respiratory resuscitation room
  • A dedicated trauma room for adult and pediatric patients
  • Imaging, including CT, ultrasound and X-ray
  • A full-service laboratory
  • An ambulance bay and patient parking
  • A discharge waiting area with recliners

It will be staffed by board-certified emergency medicine physicians, nurses and paramedics, and the health system describes the team as pediatric-ready.

What it is, and what it is not

This is a full emergency room, not an urgent care center, and Orlando Health says so plainly on its page for the facility. It is built for the same range of problems a hospital emergency department sees, from broken bones and severe abdominal pain to the symptoms of a heart attack or stroke.

That also means visits are billed at hospital emergency department rates, not at urgent care prices. For a life-threatening emergency, Orlando Health's guidance is to go directly to an ER or call 911.

Where it fits

The ER sits on U.S. 441 at Dillard Road in Lake County, Florida, the highway that links Eustis with Mount Dora and Tavares.

Orlando Health has not announced an opening day. When it does, the facility page on its website is where hours, directions and wait times will appear.
