For non-life-threatening or less severe conditions, Centra Care Lake Nona offers walk-in services, whole family care, primary care and an on-site pharmacy. Seven days a week, we’ve got you covered for sports physicals, lab needs, allergies, coughs, colds, minor bruises, sprains or strains.

Our board-certified emergency room physicians, critical care nurses, chest pain experts and stroke specialists can address a wide range of injuries and illnesses.

Extensive Emergency Services

  • Specialized Emergency Room Care

    During an emergency, we understand you want the most efficient and effective care from trained specialists. That’s why we’ve built a specialized team of emergency physicians, pain specialists, critical care nurses, and other trained specialists to meet the emergency medical needs of our communities.

  • Overnight Observation

    Sometimes a trip to the emergency room will require an overnight stay to fully treat a condition or injury. If your ER doctors think it’s best to keep you overnight, the Lake Nona ER offers comfortable overnight observation rooms so your doctors can keep a close eye on your condition and recovery while you focus on healing. There will be no need to transfer to another facility.

  • Benefits of Our Hospital Family

    AdventHealth hospitals and ERs are part of a connected network of care, bringing families access to compassionate, expert services to meet unique and individual health needs. If care beyond the emergency room is needed, we can transport you to a nearby AdventHealth hospital where skilled specialists will treat you.
