Aircraft X called for departure from a medical center and I told the aircraft departure would be at its own risk; use caution. Then I gave the winds; altimeter and to proceed on course. The helicopter departed and flew west into the wind then north. I was issuing a traffic to the helicopter because I saw another helicopter as a potential conflict. But before I finished the traffic I noticed a Skyhawk on downwind turn base over the helicopter at 900 feet and the helicopter was at 600 feet. So I told the helicopter about the Skyhawk and the helicopter mentioned that the traffic was too close. We should have procedures for helicopters entering and exiting the medical center on special routes to de-conflict with pattern traffic.
ORL Tower Controller reported an NMAC between a helicopter departing a hospital and traffic in the pattern.
