AdventHealth Westchase ER, at 10977 Sheldon Road, operates as a hospital department of AdventHealth Carrollwood and bills at hospital emergency-department rates rather than as a standalone urgent care center. The adjacent AdventHealth Care Pavilion Westchase, a 19,000-square-foot facility, houses multispecialty outpatient services. For inpatient and broader hospital services, AdventHealth Carrollwood itself -- a 119-bed general hospital with a 24/7 ER and stroke center (see the Carrollwood topic pages in this batch) -- sits a short drive away via the Veterans Expressway.
Crime runs dramatically below both the state and national averages
CrimeGrade.org gives Westchase an A+ overall grade and places it in the 95th safety percentile -- safer than 95% of comparison cities -- with an overall crime rate of 10.42 incidents per 1,000 residents in a typical year, 67% below the national average (violent crime specifically 69% below).

Safety varies somewhat by part of the community
Residents generally consider the north part of Westchase the safest, with victim-risk estimates ranging from about 1-in-139 in the north to about 1-in-66 in the southeast -- a real difference by area, though even the higher end of that range remains well below many national urban benchmarks.
