About us

Thank you for visiting HCA Florida South Shore Hospital's website. At HCA Florida South Shore Hospital, our patients are our family. You may recognize many of our caregivers – they're your neighbors and friends. That's the advantage of receiving care in a community hospital that offers more personalized care. But, what makes us most unique is that we're able to provide this care while being consistently top–rated in surgical excellence.

Since our hospital opened in 1982, we have been committed to providing the highest quality care. We are proud to be nationally recognized in the top 100 of America’s Best Hospitals for Orthopedic Surgery, the top 10% of hospitals in the nation for surgical care, and recognized 4 consecutive years as a Tampa Bay Times Top Workplace.

Time and time again, we show up for your health with a commitment to providing top-quality, patient-centered care. Every member of our team contributes to our strong culture of safety and we are continuously learning, monitoring and addressing areas of improvement. Working with a team of dedicated community physicians, we are committed to being the healthcare provider of choice in the community we serve.

I am honored to lead the great team of caregivers we have, and for the service we provide to the South Shore community. Thank you for choosing HCA Florida South Shore Hospital.

Sincerely,

Cathy Edmisten
