Over 130 years ago, the only public hospital within the 90-mile area between Jacksonville and Daytona Beach was the Alicia Hospital, located on Marine and Tremerton Streets, which at the time was the southern end of the city 圣. 奥古斯汀.

In 1888, Henry Morrison Flagler gathered a group of residents and shared his vision of creating a health care facility that would always meet the St的需求. 奥古斯汀 residents and visitors. This dream became a reality when 冰球突破平台, originally named Alicia Hospital, first opened 1890年开业.

Monumental events, such as a destructive fire in 1916, were overcome as 冰球突破平台 continued to live up to the original commitment of its 创始人. After the fire, the “new” 冰球突破平台 opened in 1921. A grand building for its time, the three-story structure surpassed the original hospital’s size and medical capabilities. 在 years, the hospital experienced many changes as it kept pace with advances in medicine and the growth 圣. 约翰县.

Along with increased square footage for patient care came many new and expanded departments of medicine, including centers dedicated to cancer care, comprehensive heart and vascular care, imaging, spinal conditions, women’s health and bariatric surgery.

This allowed the remaining hospital services to be moved to the current 位置. Currently, the hospital provides 316 acute care beds, has a medical staff of nearly 350 physicians and offers a full range of services to Northeast Florida residents.

Understanding that its scope and services go well beyond its hospital walls, 冰球突破平台 expanded to become Flagler Health+ in 2019, with an aim to advance physical, social and economic health for the communities it 服务.
