ShorePoint Port Charlotte, is a for-profit hospital in Port Charlotte, Florida, owned by Community Health Systems. It was historically a non-profit Catholic hospital.
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.[2] On June 4, 1962, it opened with 50 hospital beds.[3]
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 June 27, 2013, Health Management Associates announced that Peace River Regional Medical Center would be rebranding to Bayfront Health Port Charlotte.[6] On July 30, it was announced that Community Health Systems would purchase Health Management Associates for $3.6 billion.[7] On January 15, 2014, the hospital officially changed its name to Bayfront Health Port Charlotte.[8][9] On January 27, Community Health Systems acquired Health Management Associates.[10][11]
On November 30, 2021, Bayfront Health Port Charlotte was rebranded as ShorePoint Health Port Charlotte.[12][13]
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.[14][15][16]
Hurricane evacuations
[edit]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.[17][18]
