About Us

Founded in 1938, St. Mary’s Medical Center is a 420-bed, acute care hospital that provides medical, surgical, obstetrical, pediatric, trauma and emergency services to a five-county area. What started as a small 50-bed facility founded by the Franciscan Sisters of Allegany, has grown into a dynamic institution, known for its innovation and award-winning programs, as well as a legacy of excellence that began more than three generations ago.

With many specialized programs, including a state-designated Regional Perinatal Intensive Care Center and Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, we deliver the most babies in Palm Beach County. A leader in critical care medicine, St. Mary’s treats more than 70,000 emergency and trauma patients each year. With advanced diagnostic and imaging services, we are the only GE Show Site in the Southeastern United States for neurointerventional imaging technology. Our dedicated team of physicians and staff has helped us achieve top quality awards through The Birthplace, our level I trauma center, comprehensive stroke center, level III NICU and more.

The Palm Beach Children’s Hospital at St. Mary’s Medical Center is the only dedicated pediatric hospital between Ft. Lauderdale and Orlando. As members of the national Children’s Hospital Association, we provide highly specialized services to more than 50,000 children each year. Our campus is also the home of Quantum House, a hospitality home for families of pediatric patients. Our numerous employees and affiliated physicians have dedicated themselves to healing our community.
