AdventHealth station

SunRail was constructed along the CSX A-Line, a rail corridor which was constructed in 1880 by the South Florida Railroad. Of the four stations in Orlando proper, Florida Hospital Health Village was the only station built from scratch: Church Street and Orlando Health/Amtrak were built at former Atlantic Coast Line Railroad stations, and LYNX Central was built at an existing bus station.

Florida Hospital included the station in plans for Health Village, a mixed-use district that would include apartments, restaurants, and retail in the area surrounding the hospital.{{Cite web |last=Freeman |first=Michael W. |date=2014-02-27 |title=SunRail may help to create urban "villages," advocates say |url=https://www.orlandosentinel.com/2014/02/27/sunrail-may-help-to-create-urban-villages-advocates-say/ |access-date=2024-05-23 |website=Orlando Sentinel |publisher=Tribune Company |language=en-US}} Adventist Health System, which owns the hospital, built a regional headquarters building next to the station.{{Cite news |last=Powers |first=Scott |date=2014-03-17 |title=Adventist to open new HQ for Florida |url=https://infoweb.newsbank.com/apps/news/openurl?ctx_ver=z39.88-2004&rft_id=info%3Asid/infoweb.newsbank.com&svc_dat=WORLDNEWS&req_dat=0FC00B934DD580D0&rft_val_format=info%3Aofi/fmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Actx&rft_dat=document_id%3Anews%252F14C9C5FBF2B1EF90 |work=Orlando Sentinel |publisher=Tribune Company |pages=D1 |via=NewsBank}}

The station was soft opened on April 3, 2014. All four Orlando stations held a grand opening on April 30, and SunRail entered service the following day.{{Cite news |date=2014-04-02 |title=Orlando releases SunRail station schedule |url=https://infoweb.newsbank.com/apps/news/openurl?ctx_ver=z39.88-2004&rft_id=info%3Asid/infoweb.newsbank.com&svc_dat=WORLDNEWS&req_dat=0FC00B934DD580D0&rft_val_format=info%3Aofi/fmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Actx&rft_dat=document_id%3Anews%252F14CF0A6FF7B72348 |work=Orlando Sentinel |publisher=Tribune Company |pages=O11 |via=NewsBank}}

In July, Florida Hospital installed additional crossing arms and medians to four streets around the station, which allowed the area to be declared a quiet zone.{{Cite news|url=https://bungalower.com/2014/07/10/rail-quiet-zones-start-summer-crossings/|title=Rail Quiet Zones to Start this Summer for Some Crossings|last=Broffman|first=Matthew|date=2014-07-10|website=Bungalower|access-date=2023-01-11}} The city of Orlando also expanded sidewalks and bike trails in Loch Haven Park to improve its connection to the station.{{Cite web |last=Broffman |first=Matthew |date=2013-10-25 |title=Arts Groups Working Together to Improve Loch Haven Park |url=https://bungalower.com/2013/10/25/arts-groups-working-together-to-improve-loch-haven-park/ |access-date=2024-05-23 |website=Bungalower}}

In December 2014, Orlando began soliciting local artists for a $50,000 public art piece, which would be installed at the station and serve as an "entry point" for the nearby Loch Haven Park.{{Cite news|url=https://bungalower.com/2014/12/03/city-seeks-public-art-sunrail-station-loch-haven-park/|title=City seeks public art for SunRail station at Loch Haven Park|last=Broffman|first=Matthew|date=2014-12-03|website=Bungalower|access-date=2022-01-11}} The resulting art piece, a {{Convert|41x13|ft|m|adj=on}} mural painted by Martha Lent, was installed on December 16, 2016 and is visible from the northbound platform.{{Cite news|url=https://bungalower.com/2016/12/18/artwork-sunrail-station-florida-hospital/|title=Local artwork installed at Florida Hospital SunRail station|last=O'Connor|first=Brendan|date=2016-12-18|website=Bungalower|access-date=2023-01-11}}

In early 2019, the Florida Hospital Health Village complex was renamed to AdventHealth Health Village. The station's name was changed accordingly.{{Cite web |date=2019-01-09 |title=Technical Advisory Committee: Quarterly Update (January 9, 2019) |url=https://corporate.sunrail.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/TAC-Meeting-Materials-01-09-19.pdf |website=SunRail |publisher=Florida Department of Transportation |pages=19, 42}}
