The VA Medical Center in Orlando is experiencing tremendous growth and as a result of the Capital Assessment process will be building a new hospital.  The current Orlando VA Medical Center has been approved to construct a new state of the art medical center, covering 1.158 million square feet and will include a 120 bed nursing home, 134 bed hospital and a large multi-specialty outpatient clinic. This healthcare system serves approximately 90,000 unique veterans in six counties in east and Central Florida. The Orlando VA system currently includes a 120-bed CLC, a 60-bed Domiciliary, and a large comprehensive, satellite outpatient clinic and CBOC systems.   Orlando, Florida is without doubt the theme-park capital of the world, and Orlando's most famous tourist attraction is Walt Disney World. The vast Disney complex incorporates a host of state-of-the-art theme parks, with magical characters and thrilling rides, and is located on the southwestern outskirts of Orlando.  Orlando is a great city for families with children (or parents) of all ages.  There is truly something for everyone in Orlando, which include Universal Studios, Sea World, Orlando's Kennedy Space Center, the Epcot Center and Disney's Magic Kingdom, home to the enchanting Cinderella's Castle. Away from the theme parks and major tourism in Orlando, you will also find much history and many peaceful spots, together with gardens, fine dining, impressive museums, charming neighborhoods and a major nighttime scene.  Florida has NO State Income Tax.
