Bayfront Health Expansion

Bayfront Health St. Petersburg has begun construction on a major expansion of its downtown campus that will further cement the hospital as a prominent anchor of the Innovation District.  

When Orlando Health purchased Bayfront Hospital St. Petersburg in 2020, it pledged to revive the 480-bed hospital after years of financial turmoil under its former owner. Orlando Health’s promise included not only strengthening the hospital’s charity care programs but to also restore Bayfront as a premier healthcare facility in St. Petersburg in both patient care and facilities provided.

After announcing in September that it will build a three-story, 60,000-square-foot Women’s Pavilion at 700 6th Street South, slated to open in 2024, Bayfront Health St. Petersburg has announced plans for another expansion to its campus.

Bayfront Health St. Petersburg is teaming up with three of the state’s top medical specialists to build the new project, named Bayfront Health Medical Pavilion – Institute Square.

The pavilion will be a technologically advanced facility offering world-class care to the Tampa Bay region and beyond through partnerships with the Florida Cancer Specialists and Research Institute, one of the largest oncological providers in Florida; All Florida Orthopaedic Associates, one of the largest orthopedic practices in the state; and Women’s Care, which now counts more than 100 locations across the Unites States.

St. Petersburg’s largest and oldest hospital, Bayfront Health St. Petersburg, has unveiled plans to construct a three-story, 60,000 square foot Women’s Pavilion, the company announced last week.

The new state-of-the-art outpatient complex will be built at 700 6th Street South on the east side of the hospital’s 480-bed downtown St. Petersburg campus. Construction will involve the demolition and relocation of the hospital’s Family Care Center which is currently home to Bayfront Health St. Petersburg’s residency programs.

Bayfront Health has partnered with Women’s Care, a Tampa-based specialty women’s health physician group, to bring the new facility to life. Women’s Care operates a network of over 100 locations, where they perform more than 2.4 million annual patient encounters and deliver more than 23,000 newborns a year.
