  • 2013 COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT Summary
    2013 COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT Summary 1 Introduction Florida Hospital conducted its 2013 Community Health Needs Assessment in two parts: a regional needs assessment for the three counties in Central Florida followed by Assessments focused on and tailored to our seven hospital facilities in the Tri-County area of Orange, Seminole and Osceola Counties. The larger Assessment is posted on our web site. This document is specific to Florida Hospital East Orlando. Executive Summary In Central Florida, there is a well-established tradition of healthcare organizations, providers, community partners, and individuals committed to meeting our local health needs. The region is home to several respected hospitals that are ranked in the nation’s top 100, a Level One Trauma Center, nine designated teaching hospitals and the University of Central Florida, College of Medicine. Even with the current economic challenges and healthcare’s changing landscape, these organizations remain committed to serving Central Florida. In spite of this dedication to meeting local health needs, there is still work to be done. In the center of the Sunshine State, over 1.8 million people live in Orange, Osceola, and Seminole Counties. Of these residents, approximately 8.8% are unemployed; housing affordability remains a challenge; poverty rates for children, families, and the elderly are up to three times higher among racial and ethnic minorities; over one-third of children are raised in single- parent households; crime rates are above the national average; cancer is the leading cause of death; public transportation and carpooling are underutilized to the point where noise and traffic pollute the urban landscape; and in some zip codes, less than 20% of residents hold a bachelor’s degree or higher.
