Shepherd’s Hope Announces Closure of Dr. Diebel Jr. Memorial Clinic

Winter Garden, FL – December 24, 2026 – Shepherd’s Hope will discontinue patient services at the Dr. Diebel Jr. Memorial Clinic, located at 12050 E Colonial Dr, Orlando, FL 32826, on Tuesday, January 13, 2026.

Orange County, which has generously donated the space since March 2024, has informed us that they need the facility back, as they look to expand additional healthcare services for the community.
