New AdventHealth Middleton clinic brings pediatric specialists, urogynecology near The Villages. October 30, 2026 The multispecialty clinic features 24 treatment rooms, pediatric imaging and services designed to bring care closer to Middleton families. MIDDLETON, Fla. (FNN) - Families in Middleton have a new option for pediatric and women's specialty care with the opening of the AdventHealth Middleton Multispecialty Clinic, according to an Oct. 29 news release from AdventHealth. Located at 2274 Alder Ave., the clinic brings together pediatric primary care, pediatric cardiology, pediatric orthopedics and women's urogynecology services. The facility includes 24 treatment rooms, a pediatric X-ray room and spaces for children's heart screenings. Bringing care closer to families. Middleton, a master-planned community along Central Parkway, is home to approximately 1,200 families and households, many with residents who work in and around The Villages, according to the release. For Jenny Trew, whose family was the first to move to Middleton, the new clinic could mean fewer long trips for routine appointments. She has been driving nearly an hour to Clermont for pediatric care for her 13-year-old twin sons, Jasen and Jackson. "Going to the pediatrician usually means pulling both boys out of school, taking time away from work and making a day out of something that should be pretty simple," Trew said in the release. Having a pediatrician in the neighborhood will make it easier to balance health care appointments with work, school, sports and other activities, she said. Dr. Vanessa Carroll, chief medical officer of AdventHealth for Children, said proximity matters when families are seeking care for a sick or injured child. "Parents don't want to take their child to just any doctor. They want someone they can trust, right around the corner," Carroll said in the release. "Because when your child is sick or injured, an hour-long drive can feel even farther." Expanding women's specialty services. The clinic also provides urogynecology services, including care for urinary incontinence and pelvic floor conditions. The location gives women a nearby option for specialized treatment aimed at improving comfort, health and quality of life, according to AdventHealth. "Women spend so much of their lives caring for others, and it can become very easy to put their own health last," Kristen Toth, vice president of AdventHealth for Women, said in the release. "We want women to know there is care here for them, too." The clinic brings AdventHealth for Children and AdventHealth for Women together at one location to serve families through different stages of life. Supporting students and schools. Middleton's early childhood centers, two K-8 schools and high school collectively enroll more than 3,000 students, according to the release. LeAnne Yerk, principal of The Villages Charter Elementary School, said access to nearby pediatric care supports students' health and readiness to learn. "As educators, we see firsthand that a child's ability to learn, grow and thrive in the classroom is deeply connected to their health and well-being," Yerk said in the release. She described the clinic's proximity to schools as an important resource for students and families, helping connect health care with educational support. Location and appointments. The AdventHealth Middleton Multispecialty Clinic is located at 2274 Alder Ave., Middleton, Florida.

Four Seasons Resort Orlando raises more than USD 1,235,000 for pediatric cancer research and care for AdventHealth for Children. Four Seasons Resort Orlando at Walt Disney World Resort hosted the 4th annual Four Seasons Orlando Invitational on October 15 and 16, 2026 benefiting AdventHealth for Children, raising USD 1,235,000 to support the development of the first Adolescent and Young Adult Program at AdventHealth for Children. This new initiative is designed to bridge the gap between pediatric and adult healthcare systems during a pivotal stage of life. "We are honoured to collaborate with AdventHealth for Children for the second year in a row, and proud to have raised such a significant donation, thanks to the generosity of the event attendees," says Ali Mohammed, Regional Vice President and General Manager of Four Seasons Resort Orlando. "I would like to thank our dedicated team for their hard work in bringing this successful event to life. We are extremely proud that these funds will make a true difference in the lives of adolescents and young adults as they navigate the complexities of cancer care with improved patient care coordination, enhanced emotional support, long term survivorship resources, and so much more." The sold-out two-day charity event paired golf foursomes with 28 celebrities, including musicians, actors and former professional athletes, and featured a live music performance by country music singer and songwriter Adam Hambrick, alongside silent and live auctions. A highlight of the live auction was a rare opportunity for the winning bidder and six guests to be among the first to experience Monstropolis, the new land inspired by Disney and Pixar's beloved movie Monsters, Inc. at Disney's Hollywood Studios, when it opens in 2027. The three-night experience also includes Disney VIP Tours, theme park tickets, time with a Walt Disney World Imagineer, and special dining and character experiences. The unique auction items also included a PNC Championship Pro-Am Experience; numerous Four Seasons hotels and resorts getaways, many tied to exclusive experiences with professional sporting events; a golf tour package in Scotland with access to legendary golf courses; an original Disney painting created by Disney Fine Artist Dom Corona; and other special items from in-kind donors. Numerous signed sports collector memorabilia, perfect for the avid sports fan, were also available to bid on. Funds raised from this year's signature golf event will support a growing population of patients: adolescents and young adults navigating cancer and other complex pediatric conditions that continue into adulthood. Advances in pediatric medicine have helped more children survive cancer and other serious illnesses than ever before. Yet, as these patients enter adolescence and young adulthood, many face a new challenge: transitioning from pediatric care into adult healthcare environments that may not be designed around their unique developmental, emotional, and medical needs. This new offering will become the first comprehensive adolescent and young adult cancer program in Central Florida, designed to address these challenges through specialized care coordination, navigation, and long-term support tailored specifically to adolescents and young adults. Over the past four years, the Four Seasons Orlando Invitational has raised more than USD 4.1 million for pediatric healthcare, including support for AdventHealth for Children and Nemours Children's Hospital, Florida. The Invitational reflects the broader Four Seasons for Good commitment to creating meaningful impact in the communities where Four Seasons operates, including a decades-long global commitment to advancing cancer research and care.
