Mergers and Acquisitions

With some 530 beds, Winter Haven Hospital represents BayCare Health System's first purchase since its formation in 1997. The move allows BayCare to reach outside its core Florida counties of Pinellas, Hillsborough, and Pasco.

The $225-million hospital, added to the system in 2010, features surgery, intensive care, outpatient, and emergency care facilities. BayCare also completed a nearly $50 million expansion of its Morton Plant North Bay Hospital, adding more than 30 beds, an outpatient center, and 95,000 sq. feet of space.
