Florida Hospital Zephyrhills, Inc. (doing business as AdventHealth Zephyrhills) is a non-profit hospital in Zephyrhills, Florida, United States owned by AdventHealth. The medical facility is a tertiary and primary stroke center that has multiple specialties.

In the early 1920s, T. F. Jackson opened a two-room clinic on the second floor of the Touchton building in Dade City, Florida. In late October 1926, he purchased the former house of Reverend H. N. Abraham for his practice. He later moved it again several years later to a building west of Pasco Middle School. On August 1, 1934, Pasco County, Florida purchased the facility and renamed it Jackson Memorial Hospital, in remembrance of the founder who died the same year. Over the years several wings were added. In 1961, the older portion of the hospital was demolished.

In 1981, Adventist Health System Sunbelt Healthcare Corporation purchased the hospital. In January 1985, it was moved to Zephyrhills and was renamed East Pasco Medical Center. The property in Dade City was purchased by the county for its health department, later the social services department and the Sheriff's Office also moved into the former medical facility. In 1999, East Pasco Medical Center expanded its emergency department, before it was expanded the hospital rejected patients, forcing them to go to Columbia Dade City Hospital.

On January 1, 2006, East Pasco Medical Center rebranded to Florida Hospital Zephyrhills. In early October 2012, the hospital opened the Simpson Breast Health Center, the facility is named after a local that donated $250,000 to the hospital's foundation. On January 2, 2019, Florida Hospital Zephyrhills rebranded to AdventHealth Zephyrhills.
