ODESSA, Fla. (February 11, 2026) – Last month, Starkey Ranch ER & Hospital proudly celebrated its one-year anniversary of delivering exceptional, patient-centered care to the Central Florida region with a community event. Since opening in 2024, the hospital has remained dedicated to delivering compassionate, accessible emergency, inpatient, and outpatient services.
“This past weekend’s one-year anniversary celebration was a powerful reminder of why we are here and who we serve. Seeing over 200 families, neighbors, first responders, and community partners come out to celebrate with us was truly humbling,” said Brandon Compton, Chief Nursing Officer at Starkey Ranch ER & Hospital. “What started as a vision to bring high-quality, accessible care to Starkey Ranch has become a trusted part of this community in just one year.”
Over the past year, Starkey Ranch & Hospital has enhanced medical care for the community by removing traditional barriers often found in hospital systems. The facility offers shorter wait times, personalized physician care, extended and observational stays, on-site laboratory testing, and advanced imaging, with a focus on patient-centered care.
The hospital remains dedicated to enhancing patient experiences and strengthening its role as one of the community’s most trusted healthcare providers.
“We are incredibly grateful for the support, trust, and kindness the community has shown our team. It was a joy to see everyone come together, share stories, and celebrate not just our hospital, but the people and relationships that make this place special,” said Compton. “On behalf of our entire team, thank you for welcoming us into your community and allowing us to care for you and your families. We are proud to be here, and we’re just getting started.”
Starkey Ranch ER & Hospital is open 24/7, 365 days a year, including holidays, to offer comprehensive medical care without the wait.
