How do I get to Orlando Health Orlando Regional Medical Center in Orlando, and where does the car drop you off?

How we source facts

At Orlando Health ORMC, 52 W. Underwood St., the car drops you at the main entrance, where the hospital's own amenities page puts valet from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. on weekdays and 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. at weekends, and collects you at the Discharge Service Center drive just left of that entrance (Orlando Health, n.d.).

Orlando Health Orlando Regional Medical Center is at 52 W. Underwood St., Orlando, FL 32806. The amenities page says that when picking up patients, drivers should use the Discharge Service Center drive just to the left of the hospital's main entrance. It lists valet at the ORMC main entrance from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday to Friday and 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. at weekends and holidays, at the Orlando Health Cancer Institute's main entrance from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. on weekdays, and at the emergency room around the clock; wheelchairs are at the main and emergency entrances, and every campus is tobacco-free, parking included. (Orlando Health, n.d.).

Not on the page I read: a valet or parking fee; where self-parking is; an international patient office on this page. Hospitals move entrances for construction and change valet hours without notice, so the page's own words are checked by a daily watch, and the desk confirms the door with you the morning of the ride.

What the car does: the captain drops you at the entrance or valet named above, not in the car park, and nobody asks what the appointment is for. Book by the hour and the car waits through the appointment, however long it runs; for a course of visits the same captain comes whenever the schedule allows. From anywhere in Orlando, or straight from MCO for someone flying in to be seen, on a fare agreed before the car moves. This is a car service, not medical transport: captains help with the door and the bags, and cannot give physical or medical assistance.
