Community Commitment
The commitment of the Plant City community to support South Florida Baptist Hospital has been one of outstanding generosity that began with its founding. The development of the hospital in the 1940s is the story of a noteworthy partnership between many generous, civic-minded citizens of Plant City and the dedicated financial support of the Florida Baptist Church Convention. The entire Plant City community rallied behind the idea of building the city's first hospital in the post WWII years. In 2003, South Florida Baptist Hospital reached its 50-year milestone.
The hospital offers complete:
- Diagnostic Imaging
- Surgery Center
- Rehabilitation
- Adult acute and intensive care Units
- Pediatric and adolescent services
- Sub-acute skilled nursing facility
- Obstetrics
- Cardiac Cath
- Wound Care
- Radiation Oncology
Part of the St. Joseph's-Baptist Health Care Family
South Florida Baptist Hospital is part of the St. Joseph's-Baptist Health Care system, a pioneering community health alliance that brings together St. Joseph's Hospital, St. Joseph's Women's Hospital and St. Joseph's Children's Hospital in Tampa, and South Florida Baptist Hospital in Plant City.
Other members of the health alliance include St. Joseph's John Knox Village, a 14-acre retirement community, 23 Health Point physician offices and Community Care Clinics for the underserved.
St. Joseph's-Baptist Health Care is part of the BayCare Health System, a joint operating agreement established in 1997 by 15 private, not-for-profit hospitals in Pinellas and Hillsborough counties with similar missions, visions and values.
Each of the hospital alliances is governed by a volunteer board of civic leaders who uphold a commitment to reinvesting health care dollars in the community and who believe in providing medical care to everyone, regardless of ability to pay.
