In late October 2003, the cities of Davenport, Florida and Haines City, Florida wanted to annex the land that Heart of Florida Regional Medical Center was on. In the end the city of Davenport annexed the land.[2] [3] By 2004, it added a medical office building, cardiac catheterization lab, updated its services and its emergency department doubled in capacity.

On January 1, 2021, the United States government required all hospitals to have their chargemaster on its website.[10] In a survey done in 2022, the majority of hospitals in Florida including AdventHealth Heart of Florida had failed to comply with the new law.[10] [11] It was not until early February 2023, that the hospital was in full compliance with the law.[12]
On November 2, 2022, AdventHealth Heart of Florida began a $7.5 million construction project to expand its emergency department and build a larger chapel. Also to renovate its outpatient and emergency registration areas. Construction was completed in November 2023.[13] [14]
