Description

Florida Hospital Waterman was founded in 1938 as a legacy of Frank Waterman president of the Waterman Fountain pen Company In 1938 Mr Waterman turned the elegant Fountain Inn in downtown Eustis over to a group of local doctors for use as a hospital and the new Lake County Medical Center was to become the major cornerstone of health care in Lake County

For over 70 years Florida Hospital Waterman has continued its commitment to the health care needs of our community and has progressed from an 18bed county hospital to a 204bed acute care facility
