South Florida Baptist Hospital Expands Medical Services to Our Community

70 Years of Service

On December 29, 1953, South Florida Baptist Hospital (SFBH) opened its doors to the community. It was the culmination of a dream that began in the 1920s with a vision held by local civic leaders who wanted a hospital of their own for Plant City.

Seven decades later, the hospital’s founders would be proud. Today, SFBH is a full-service, not-for-profit community hospital with a rich tradition of friendly, compassionate care and expert medical treatment. To meet the ever-changing health care environment, SFBH entered into a joint operating agreement in 1997. BayCare Health System was formed to provide more cost-effective operations.

South Florida Baptist Hospital Expands Medical Services to Our Community

The Next 70 Years

Looking to the future is always important in health care. Plant City’s population is continuing to grow and as the primary health care center, we need to grow right along with the needs. Expanding on our current property was not the optimal option. Building a 424,000-square-foot hospital on 50 acres of land will provide state-of-the-art care for the current needs of our patients and has the infrastructure to support our community for decades to come.

Our full-service hospital will still provide the excellent medical care we are known for but will now have 146 private patient rooms, a dedicated 20-unit infusion center, an outpatient imaging center and a one-mile walking path around the perimeter of the property. Our mission has been and always will be to improve the health of all we serve through community-owned health care services that set the standard for high-quality, compassionate care. Here’s to the next 70 years!
