The original Baptist Memorial Hospital and Wolfson Children's Memorial Hospital in downtown Jacksonville were opened in 1955. Baptist Medical Center Jacksonville is the flagship hospital for Baptist Health, and Wolfson Children's Hospital is the region's only pediatric referral inpatient center.^[3]

Hospitals

A full-service hospital opened in Fernandina in 1942, relocating in the 1970s to Lime and South 18th Streets. In 1994, it was acquired by Baptist Health.^[8]

Wolfson Children’s Hospital

Morris David Wolfson (father of Louis Wolfson), made a $500,000 donation in 1946 to create a children’s health care facility in Jacksonville.^[9] The facility opened in 1955 as a wing in the Baptist Memorial Hospital with 50 beds and gradually grew to the point that the decision was made in 1971 to consolidate the services into a separate facility with the name, Wolfson Children’s Hospital.^[10] Pediatric healthcare partners include Nemours Children's Specialty Care, Jacksonville and the University of Florida College of Medicine-Jacksonville. UF-Jacksonville's Pediatric Residency Program uses the hospital as its main pediatric teaching facility.^[11] Wolfson Children's Hospital delivers specialized care to children from birth to age 18+ with a full range of needs, from routine to complex. Expanding their coverage further, Wolfson Children's Hospital has opened regional specialty centers in Fleming Island, Lake City, Daytona Beach, Tallahassee, Florida, and Brunswick, Georgia.

In 1992, Baptist Health bought the tax-supported facility and changed its name to Baptist Medical Center Beaches.^[12] Baptist Beaches provides the only 24-hour ER east of the Intracoastal Waterway.^[13]

Baptist South

Baptist South was constructed and opened in February 2005.^[14] In June 2007, construction began on a new patient care tower that further increased patient care capacity, including a Newborn Intensive Care Unit that is part of Wolfson Children's Hospital's services. In September 2011, Baptist South opened a new cardiac catheterization lab.^[15] Recent additions include minimally invasive robotic surgery and a dramatically expanded ER.^[16]
