History

[edit]

In 1962, Saint Joseph's Hospital was founded by the Felician Sisters and was built by General Development Corporation for the Catholic Church.[3] On June 4, 1962, it opened with 50 hospital beds.[4] In 1987, Bon Secours purchased Saint Joseph's Hospital.[5]

In early August 2004, Bon Secours announced that it would sell St. Joseph's Hospital to Health Management Associates, there were other hospital networks interested in the hospital including HCA.[5][6] In 2005, Health Management Associates renamed St. Joseph's Hospital to Peace River Regional Medical Center.[7][8] In March 2011, construction began on the Peace River Heart Institute for $25 million. The two-story addition was built on top of the emergency department.[9][10] It opened on January 18, 2012, with three surgical suites, four catheterization laboratories, a coronary care unit with nineteen beds, a post-interventional cardiac cath unit with sixteen beds, also a pre-and post-interventional cardiac holding with eight beds.[10]

On June 27, 2013, Health Management Associates announced that Peace River Regional Medical Center would be rebranding to Bayfront Health Port Charlotte as part of a campaign to merge HMA-owned hospitals from Brooksville to Punta Gorda into a regional network of hospitals, following the purchase of a majority state in Bayfront Medical Center by HMA.[11] On July 30, Community Health Systems agreed to purchase Health Management Associates for $7.6 billion.[12][13] On January 15, 2014, the hospital changed its name to Bayfront Health Port Charlotte.[14][15] On January 24, 2014, the Federal Trade Commission approved the merger of Health Management Associates with Community Health Systems and two days later the merger was completed.[16][17]

On November 30, 2021, Bayfront Health Port Charlotte was rebranded as ShorePoint Health Port Charlotte, along with ShorePoint Health Punta Gorda and ShorePoint Health Venice.[18][19] After Hurricane Ian hit Florida in late September 2022, ShorePoint Health Port Charlotte was the only hospital that was open in a 30-mile radius.[20] On November 22, 2024, AdventHealth signed a definitive agreement to purchase ShorePoint Health Port Charlotte from Community Health Systems; also in the purchase agreement was ShorePoint Health Punta Gorda and its assets, the total sale price for the properties was $265 million.[21][22][23] On March 1, 2025, AdventHealth began operating the hospital as AdventHealth Port Charlotte after purchasing ShorePoint Health for $260 million.[24][25][26]

Hurricane evacuations

[edit]

On August 14, 2004, St. Joseph's Hospital had parts of its roof ripped off by Hurricane Charley.[27]

On October 8, 2024, the hospital was evacuated due to Hurricane Milton. The hospital's patients were moved by ambulance to Physicians Regional Healthcare System in Naples.[28][29]
