In 1928 Dr. Isaac Hay opened what is now considered the first local hospital from which the current hospital traces its origin.

[4]
In 1953, James E. Holmes was elected to the Hospital's Board of Governors, serving as its president for the next 25 years, until 1978. In 1956, the city granted the hospital 10 acres (4.0 ha) on what is now the current site on Hickory street, leading to the hospital expanding in 1962 to 101 beds in a four-story building. by 1966, the hospital cared for 10,421 patients, 1420 new babies and 37,165 outpatients. In 1969, the hospital was expanded with the addition of a north wing, increasing the hospital's capacity to 331 beds. in 1978, as Holmes retired from the board, the hospital was named after him, and in 1983, the hospital's capacity was expanded by 206 beds, at the cost of $43 million.

In 2011, it had 55.1% of its admissions through the emergency room, less than any other hospital in Brevard and below the state average of 61.6%. Some of this difference can be explained by procedural differences in how hospitals admit patients. [5]
