Since opening the area's first hospital in 1915, Sacred Heart Health System has grown into the regional leader for providing high-quality, compassionate health care to children and adults in Northwest Florida.

More than 600 primary and specialty physicians practice at Sacred Heart, a not-for-profit healthcare organization. Our main services include: Sacred Heart Medical Group, a network of primary care physicians, a 24-hour Emergency Trauma Center, a Pediatric Trauma Referral Center, and centers of excellence specializing in women's health, cardiac care, orthopedics, cancer care, and the care of children.


The hub of the Health System is a 458-bed acute care facility located in Pensacola, Florida, which includes Sacred Heart Hospital, Sacred Heart Children's Hospital and Sacred Heart Women's Hospital. In 2003 our growth in Northwest Florida continued with the opening of a new 50-bed hospital in Walton County, east of Destin, to be called Sacred Heart Hospital on the Emerald Coast. In addition, construction is under way on a 25-bed hospital and a medical office building in Port St. Joe, Fl.


A member of the Ascension Health system, Sacred Heart practices its mission of care to the poor in many ways, providing comfort and healing to those in need spiritually, medically or financially. Sacred Heart spends tens of millions of dollars each year to provide care to the poor and uninsured. We also reach out to the needy with community services such as our mobile health unit serving the elderly, or our clinics, which provide medical care and dental care to low-income children.
