Facility Overview
The Valet Parking service at 11373 Cortez Blvd is strategically situated on the busy HCA Florida Oak Hill Hospital healthcare campus in Brooksville/Spring Hill, Florida. Designed specifically to maximize convenience for patients, visiting family members, and medical patrons, this dedicated curbside drop-off and valet station eliminates the hassle of navigating extensive surface lots during stressful medical visits. The facility operates as an open-air, organized valet staging area connected directly to the hospital’s primary pavilions and medical office entrances. Because it is a ground-level, open-air surface facility without overhead parking garage height restrictions, standard passenger vehicles, full-size SUVs, pickup trucks, and high-roof wheelchair-accessible mobility vans can be accommodated with ease.

Drivers can smoothly enter through the main campus entrance road between Mariner Boulevard and Sunshine Grove Road, following clear campus signage toward the designated hospital main entrance drop-off canopy.

Visitor & Driver Tips
When pulling up to the valet canopy, have your vehicle in park with your keys ready, and inform the attendant if you require a wheelchair or patient transport aid immediately upon arrival. Retain your claim ticket in a secure spot, as you will need it when reclaiming your vehicle from the retrieval desk at the main lobby entrance. During peak outpatient clinic hours—typically between 9:00 AM and 2:00 PM on weekdays—give yourself an extra 5 to 10 minutes for vehicle drop-off and retrieval due to higher visitor volumes. If you plan to remain on-site past standard daytime valet operating hours, be sure to coordinate vehicle key pickup instructions with the attendant upon your initial arrival.
