History[edit]

In 1954, Dr. John Canakaris' opened Bunnell Medical Clinic with 5 beds. In 1955, the clinic expanded to 22 beds.[2]

In 1960, Bunnell Medical Clinic became Bunnell General Hospital with 60 hospital beds.[2] In 1977, Bunnell Community Hospital with 80 hospital beds was built.[2]

Later Hospital Corporation of America purchased the hospital and renamed it Memorial Hospital-Flagler.[3]

In 1989, a diesel spill occurred at the hospital. Soon after the Florida Department of Environmental Protection ordered Memorial Hospital-Flagler that both of its underground fuel tanks had to be taken off of its property.[4]

In September 2002, Memorial Hospital-Flagler moved to Palm Coast and was renamed Florida Hospital Flagler.[4] On September 22, 2002, Florida Hospital Flagler opened with 81 hospital beds and cost $67 million to build.[5]

In October 2002, the only YMCA in Flagler County opened by renting 6,500 square feet inside of Florida Hospital Flagler. On May 31, 2011, it closed after losing $50,000 for three consecutive years.[6][7][8]

In June 2005, a helipad was built at Florida Hospital Flagler.[9]

In July 2011, Florida Hospital Flagler purchased 3 acres in the Cobblestone Village located by Golden Corral. On September 28, 2011, Florida Hospital Flagler had a ground breaking ceremony for the 34,000 square-foot Florida Hospital Flagler Medical Plaza.[10][11][12] On July 10, 2012, the outpatient clinic opened for $15 million.[13][14]

On August 1, 2013, during a special meeting Flagler County commissioners voted 4-to-1 to purchase the former Memorial Hospital-Flagler for $1.23 million. The reason why the county wanted the former hospital was for a new location for the Flagler County Sheriff's Office.[20][21] On September 21, 2013, the purchase of the former hospital was finalized.[22]

On November 11, 2015, Florida Hospital Flagler announced that it was adding 32 beds and would ask for licenses for 16 current overflow beds. The number of beds would be increased from 99 beds to 147 beds and would add two story above the emergency department. The expansion will cost $15 million.[23][24] On February, 15, 2016, Florida Hospital Flagler had a ground breaking ceremony for the 18,500 square-foot expansion. The expansion of the hospital was completed in the fall.[25][26][27]

In late January 2016, Florida Hospital Flagler announced that it would expand its cancer center by 2,000-square-feet for $4.5 million.[28] On July 11, 2016, Florida Hospital Flagler broke ground on the expansion of its cancer center.[29][30] In early March 2017, the expanded cancer center opened.[31]

On November 19, 2018, Florida Hospital Flagler announced that it was purchasing six acres from Flagler County for $175,000. It is located by Interstate 95 and Matanzas High School. It planned on building a 12-bed emergency department and a two-story medical office building for a total of $25 million.[32][33][34] Later plans for the ER were dropped and AdventHealth Palm Coast Parkway was built instead.[35]

On January 2, 2019, Florida Hospital Flagler rebranded to AdventHealth Palm Coast.[36][37][38]

On January 1, 2021, the United States government required all hospitals to have their chargemaster on its website.[39] On February 10, 2023, almost all of the AdventHealth hospitals had their chargemaster on their website, including AdventHealth Palm Coast.[40]

In September 2021, AdventHealth Palm Coast had a simulation center built by renovating some of its offices. The renovation and the equipment for the simulation center cost a total of $1 million. It opened on April 22, 2022, and is the largest in the AdventHealth Central Florida Division. Its five classrooms train about 140 AdventHealth nurses each month and also nursing students from Jacksonville University and the University of North Florida.[41][42][43]

On July 11, 2023, AdventHealth Palm Coast announced that it would have a new cancer center built on campus. It would be 30,000-square-feet, two stories tall and would cost $30 million to build.
