History

It was founded in 1958 as North Brevard Hospital. [1] It expanded facilities in 1964, 1981, and 1991.

Construction on an $80 million, 371,000-square-foot (34,500 m2) replacement hospital began in 2000. The new facility opened in 2002. [1] The old was demolished. [2]

In 2007, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Florida failed to get an agreement, forcing local holders of this insurance to go elsewhere for hospital services. The two reached an agreement in 2011. [3]

Parrish has received a number of awards from public and private organizations. [4]

In 2011, it had 65.9% of its admissions through the emergency room, somewhat above the state average of 61.6%. Some of this difference can be explained by procedural differences in how hospitals admit patients. [5]
