Which Florida hospitals does Steward Health Care own?

Steward Health Care operates eight hospitals in Florida and five are in South Florida:

▪ Palmetto General Hospital, 2001 W 68 St. in Hialeah

▪ Coral Gables Hospital, 3100 Douglas Rd. in Coral Gables

▪ Hialeah Hospital, 651 E 25th St. in Hialeah

▪ North Shore Medical Center, 1100 NW 95th St. in North Miami-Dade

▪ Florida Medical Center, 5000 W. Oakland Park Blvd. in Lauderdale Lakes

Steward bought the South Florida hospitals from Tenet Healthcare for $1.1 billion in 2021, as the Miami Herald has previously reported. Steward’s other Florida hospitals are Melbourne Regional Medical Center, Rockledge Regional Center and Sebastian River Medical Center.

Will Steward Health bankruptcy affect patient care?

Steward, which has more than 30 hospitals in the country, said it doesn’t expect the bankruptcy process to affect “day-to-day operations.”

“Steward’s hospitals, medical centers and physician’s offices are open and continuing to serve patients and the broader community and our commitment to our employees will not change,” Steward said in a statement.

However, it’s too soon to say what will happen to Steward’s hospitals and medical centers once the bankruptcy process is over, according to John McDonough, a professor of the practice of public health at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health who has kept tabs on the Steward Health Care saga.
