St. Anthony's Hospital is a private 393-bed hospital in St. Petersburg, Florida. It was founded by the Franciscan Sisters of Allegany in 1931 and is part of BayCare Health System.[2]

History

The hospital opened in 1920 as Faith Hospital.[3] The hospital faced financial troubles due to the Great Depression and closed in 1930.[4] In June 1931, the Franciscan Sisters of Allegany bought Faith Hospital for $40,000 (equivalent to $801,000 in 2023). They renamed the hospital after the Franciscan saint, St. Anthony of Padua, because of his selfless dedication to God.
