The hospital was originally opened in July 1932 [7] by Dr. W. H. Dyer as Tampa Heights Hospital [8] who operated the 1st and 2nd floors as a clinic.

It was acquired by the Franciscan Sisters in the Fall of 1933. [9] A $150,000 renovation followed, with a modern fourth floor suite of operating rooms, x-ray rooms, a pharmacy, morgue, and doctors’ quarters added, with the finished facility said to be capable of accommodating 100 patients. [10] The refurbished hospital, located at the corner of Morgan Street and 7th Avenue, [10] was relaunched as St. Joseph's Hospital on October 1st, 1934. [11]

The current location opened on March 19th, 1967, [11] on what was then known as Buffalo Avenue.
