What is the largest hospital in the U.S. by beds?
AdventHealth Orlando is the largest hospital in the U.S. with 2,247 staffed beds and is also a top hospital by Medicare discharges and net patient revenue. It is owned by the IDN AdventHealth, one of the largest health systems in the U.S. by both net patient revenue and number of hospitals.
According to the most recent Medicare Cost Report, AdventHealth Orlando has a bed utilization rate of 80.6%. Bed utilization measures the percentage of beds or units that are occupied on an average night over a given period of time. It can also be an indicator of how effectively a hospital manages its resources and provides care to patients. Patients at AdventHealth Orlando have an average length of stay of five days.
Jackson Memorial Hospital, another Florida-based facility, is the second largest U.S. hospital on our list with 1,893 staffed beds. The facility has a bed utilization rate of 66.9% and an average length of stay of seven days. The facility is a leading academic medical center.
How many beds does the biggest hospital in the U.S. have?
If we define ‘biggest’ as ‘facility size,’ then Creedmoor Psychiatric Hospital is the largest hospital in the U.S., with a total facility square footage of nearly 9.5 million square feet. Creedmoor Psychiatric Hospital has 349 staffed beds. Compared to the largest hospitals on the list above with more than 1,000 patient beds, Creedmoor has a relatively small bed size. As a psychiatric hospital designed to help patients with severe mental health conditions, patients likely have larger room sizes than a short term acute care hospital. The facility has a bed utilization rate of 87.4% and an average length of stay of 612 days.
