History

In 1962, Saint Joseph's Hospital was founded by the Felician Sisters and was built by General Development Corporation for the Catholic Church. [2] On June 4, 1962, it opened with 50 hospital beds. [3] In 1987, Bon Secours purchased Saint Joseph's Hospital. [4]

In early August 2004, Bon Secours announced that it would sell St. Joseph's Hospital to Health Management Associates. [4] In 2005, Health Management Associates renamed St. Joseph's Hospital to Peace River Regional Medical Center. [5] On 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. [6] [7] 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. [7]

On June 27, 2013, Health Management Associates announced that Peace River Regional Medical Center would be rebranding to Bayfront Health Port Charlotte. [8] On July 30, it was announced that Community Health Systems would purchase Health Management Associates for $3.6 billion. [9] On January 15, 2014, the hospital officially changed its name to Bayfront Health Port Charlotte. [10] [11] On January 27, Community Health Systems acquired Health Management Associates. [12] [13]

On November 30, 2021, Bayfront Health Port Charlotte was rebranded as ShorePoint Health Port Charlotte. [14] [15] 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. [16] 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. [17] [18] [19]

On August 14, 2004, St. Joseph's Hospital had parts of its roof ripped off by Hurricane Charley. [20] 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. [21] [22]
