We’re Here to Help You Get Back to Life
Adjusting to your everyday life after a hospital stay can be challenging. That’s why we created the AdventHealth Care Clinic, formerly AdventHealth Medical Group Transitional Care Clinic, to support your health care needs as you settle back into your home and routine. Our team of skilled and compassionate experts — which includes nurse practitioners, pharmacists, respiratory therapists and medical assistants — will support your transition so you can recover and thrive.
We’re here to help you find the right physician or a location that’s convenient for you.
To Get You Home Safely
Our specialized services are designed to help you transition from our hospital to your home with ease. From educating you and your family on how to live with a newly diagnosed chronic condition to ensuring your medications are appropriately managed, we’re here for you.
Our program proudly serves adults in need who are over 18 years of age, underserved, uninsured or using Medicare and Medicaid.
- Chronic Disease Follow-Up Care
-
When you have a chronic disease, your care can’t stop with the treatments we provided at the hospital. Learning to manage your symptoms with medications, lifestyle changes, consistent monitoring and follow-up care once you return home is a journey — that’s where we come in. We’ll help you manage:
- Asthma
- Atrial fibrillation
- Bronchitis
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
- Congestive heart failure
- Coronary artery disease
- Diabetes
- Emphysema
- Hyperlipidemia
- Hypertension
- Post-coronary artery bypass grafting
- Post-myocardial infarction
- Pulmonary Embolism/Deep Vein Thrombosis (PE/DVT)
Lean on our expertise to ensure you get the very best start.
- Comprehensive Medication Review
-
When you leave the hospital — no matter your condition — you’ll receive written instructions for medications you should continue taking. But that isn’t where your care ends.
Since chronic diseases often require multiple medications, frequent adjustments and ongoing monitoring, it often takes more than a pillbox to help you best manage your health. You need expert support and guidance, especially when you’re first released from the hospital and learning to live with your new diagnosis. We’re here to help.
- Thorough Diabetes Education
-
From diabetes diagnosis to transitioning into the lifelong management of your condition, our diabetes specialists are here to help you:
- Better understand your condition
- Commit to lifestyle changes that will have a positive impact on your symptoms and overall health
- Feel confident about monitoring your blood sugar
- Learn how to manage your medications
- International Normalized Ratio (INR) Testing
-
If you take blood thinners (also called anti-clotting medications or anti-coagulants), it’s especially important to measure the time it takes your blood to clot. With a simple blood test, your AdventHealth Care Clinic team can calculate your INR and gain important insights about whether your current medications are working effectively and decide if adjustments are needed.
- Resources Available to You
-
We have several resources available to help you get the care you need and feel whole again. These include:
- Bus passes so it’s easier for you to get to your appointments
- Food and clothing assistance from Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida
- Patient assistance programs like GSK inhalers, Lilly and Sanofi for insulin, and Bristol Myers Squib if you need Eliquis
You’re Connected
Because we’re focused on making your transition from hospital to home as seamless as possible, our Care Clinic only offers services that help you achieve that goal. The clinic does not offer:
- Adult well visits and physicals

- STD, HIV therapy and Hepatitis C treatment
- Treatment for psychiatric conditions
- Treatment with controlled medications (CII-CV)
But take heart. As an AdventHealth patient, you’ll have access to the largest network of doctors and services across Central Florida. And we’ll help you find the expertise, support and resources you need every step of the way.
