Florida Medical Center

What Florida Medical Center does

Florida Medical Center is a 459-bed acute care hospital located at 5000 W Oakland Park Blvd in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, serving patients across Broward County and the broader South Florida region. Founded in 1970, the facility operates as part of the HSA Health Care (HSA Hospitals) system, following a recent transition from prior Steward Health Care affiliation. The hospital runs a multi-specialty acute care portfolio organized around core service lines: 24/7 emergency care, cardiology (anchored by the Heart Institute of Florida with 40+ years of cardiac care history), orthopedics and joint replacement surgery, the Spine and Neuroscience Center of South Florida, general surgery, urology, and stroke treatment through a Joint Commission-certified Thrombectomy-Capable Stroke Center.

Underlying technology and clinical infrastructure include a full-service cardiac catheterization lab (coronary angiography, angioplasty, stenting, TAVR, MitraClip), a dedicated Electrophysiology Laboratory with 3D mapping, the Medtronic Mazor X robotic guidance platform with O-arm imaging for minimally invasive spine surgery, the JOIMAX endoscopic discectomy system, and a multi-million dollar neurointerventional suite enabling thrombectomy, cerebral angiography, carotid stenting, and endovascular aneurysm and AVM treatment. The hospital has accumulated a dense certification stack from The Joint Commission (Thrombectomy-Capable Stroke Center, Gold Seal for hip/knee replacement, Total Hip & Knee Replacement Certification), the American College of Cardiologists (Accredited Chest Pain Center with Resuscitation and PCI), the Surgical Review Corporation (Centers of Excellence in Robotic and Bariatric Surgery), the American Heart Association (Get With The Guidelines Target: Stroke Honor Roll Elite Plus, 2013–2021), Healthgrades (Five-Star Recipient for Heart Failure, 2017–2021), and the Human Rights Campaign Foundation (Leader in LGBTQ Healthcare Equality, 2019). A NICHE-designated Senior ER addresses the older adult segment.

Revenue is generated through patient services billed to commercial insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, and self-pay patients, with a 75% charity care discount for qualifying uninsured patients under the Steward-era Financial Assistance program. Pricing transparency is published in compliance with CMS rules, including a downloadable standard charges list (updated February 2025) and a personalized estimate tool (carepricer.nthrive.com). Patient access is primarily direct: walk-in emergency visits, physician referrals, and phone-based scheduling (954-735-6000), with bill payment processed through a third-party portal (personapay.com/hsa/login). The hospital serves a consumer patient base with no enterprise customer concentration and is geographically concentrated in South Florida.
