St. Petersburg Healthcare Guide

Federal hospital data lists six hospitals with a St. Petersburg address: Orlando Health Bayfront, St. Anthony's, Johns Hopkins All Children's, and three HCA Florida hospitals at Pasadena, Northside and St. Petersburg, all with emergency services.

The table below comes from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Hospital General Information file, filtered to St. Petersburg, Florida (CMS hospital data). CMS spells the city SAINT PETERSBURG and puts every entry in Pinellas County. Five are acute care hospitals; All Children's is the only one typed as a children's hospital.

The ZIP codes tell the geography of St. Petersburg hospital care: Bayfront and All Children's share 33701, St. Anthony's is in 33705, and the three HCA Florida hospitals use 33707, 33709 and 33710. HCA Florida Pasadena Hospital, at 1501 Pasadena Ave. S., carries a St. Petersburg address in the federal file.

Two deeper St. Petersburg healthcare guides pick up from this table: the St. Petersburg hospitals guide (beds, parking and visitor entrances for each hospital, plus the VA campus) and the Bayfront Health guide (how state and federal records name the hospital at 701 6th St. S. and what each record says about it).

Two St. Petersburg hospitals hold state trauma designations, Bayfront at Level II and All Children's as the Pediatric center, and no other hospital in Pinellas County appears on the Florida list.

On the Florida Department of Health trauma center list, updated July 23, 2026, the entries read Orlando Health Bayfront Hospital Level II Pinellas, and Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital Pediatric Pinellas (Florida Department of Health). Both hospitals carry 33701 ZIP code addresses in the federal file (CMS).

Trauma designation is a state approval separate from running an emergency room. All six St. Petersburg hospitals in the federal file report emergency services, but only Bayfront and All Children's appear on the state trauma list, and they are the only two Pinellas entries on it, so every state-designated trauma center in Pinellas County has a St. Petersburg 33701 address. The Bayfront Health guide explains where Bayfront sits in the two-county Pinellas and Pasco trauma area.

Children's hospital care in St. Petersburg centers on All Children's at 501 Sixth Ave. S., and veterans use the Bay Pines VA Healthcare System, whose campus address is in Bay Pines rather than St. Petersburg.

All Children's is the one St. Petersburg entry CMS classes as a children's hospital, and the state lists it as the Pinellas County Pediatric trauma center (Florida Department of Health). Its ownership in the federal file, voluntary non-profit private, is the same as Bayfront's (CMS).

The VA lists the Bay Pines campus at 10000 Bay Pines Boulevard, Bay Pines, FL 33744-8200, a Bay Pines mailing address rather than a St. Petersburg one (U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs). Bay Pines does not appear in the CMS rows pulled for a St. Petersburg city address, since its address is Bay Pines. The St. Petersburg hospitals guide covers the VA campus alongside the city's civilian hospitals.

A 9-1-1 medical call in St. Petersburg brings the closest Pinellas County first responder unit, and Sunstar Paramedics, the county ambulance service, carries the patient to the hospital.

Pinellas County runs one countywide EMS system: 18 fire departments house 62 Advanced Life Support first responder units, and dispatch sends whichever is closest whatever the city or fire district (Pinellas County EMS). The ambulance is a separate piece. The county contracts with Paramedics Plus to operate under the county trade name Sunstar Paramedics, which handles every emergency and non-emergency ambulance trip, including transfers between hospitals, with a fleet of 70 vehicles.

The county puts its EMS workload at more than 230,000 emergency and non-emergency calls each year, with up to 188,000 patients a year carried to the hospital by Sunstar ambulances. Questions about the system go to the Pinellas County Safety and Emergency Services Department, 10750 Ulmerton Road, Largo, (727) 464-3835 (Pinellas County). The role of St. Petersburg Fire Rescue is covered in the St. Petersburg safety section.

The Florida Department of Health in Pinellas County runs a St. Petersburg office at 205 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. St. N., open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays, phone 727-824-6900.

The St. Petersburg office page lists its services as adult and child immunizations, laboratory, pediatric dental, refugee health, STI/STDs, tuberculosis and Women, Infants, and Children (WIC); the page heads that list with a count of nine, though eight entries are shown. It is closed Saturday and Sunday, and the office email is [email protected] (Florida Department of Health in Pinellas County).

The office is a public agency, not a hospital, and it does not appear in the federal hospital file. For St. Petersburg families the practical difference is that immunization records and WIC enrollment run through this office rather than through any of the six hospitals.

Florida's Agency for Health Care Administration licenses St. Petersburg hospitals and posts the state reports on bed counts, teaching hospitals and stroke centers, while CMS keeps the federal hospital file.

The AHCA Hospital and Outpatient Services Unit posts Florida Hospital Bed Counts, Statutory Teaching Hospitals, and Acute Stroke Ready, Primary and Comprehensive Stroke Center lists, which cover the St. Petersburg hospitals with every other licensed Florida hospital. The unit answers at (850) 412-4549 or [email protected] (Florida AHCA). Trauma designations are kept separately by the Department of Health (state trauma list).

The CMS file also carries a birthing-friendly flag, a yes or blank field CMS labels as meeting criteria for its birthing-friendly designation. In the St. Petersburg rows it is marked Y for Orlando Health Bayfront Hospital and HCA Florida St. Petersburg Hospital and left blank for the other four (CMS).

Two quirks in the federal file matter in St. Petersburg. The All Children's phone carries a 713 area code while the other five St. Petersburg rows use 727, so that one CMS phone field does not match the local area code. The Pasadena row is cut off mid-name, as HCA FLORIDA PASADENA HOSPITAL A PART OF HCA FLORID, which can hide it from a search for the full name.

Only All Children's is placed in the Innovation District by the City of St. Petersburg, though the city's Marine and Life Sciences industry write-up counts both All Children's and Bayfront Health as major institutions.

On the city's economic development page, the district sits immediately south of Downtown and mixes higher education, marine science, healthcare, business incubation and media, and the city's rundown of key Downtown areas puts the Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital and Research Center in that district next to USF St. Petersburg and the marine institutions of Bayboro Harbor (City of St. Petersburg economic development). Major institutions the city names for Marine and Life Sciences include All Children's, Bayfront Health and USF St. Petersburg, along with agencies such as NOAA and USGS.

In the federal hospital file the two sit close in address as well: Bayfront at 701 6th St. S. and All Children's at 501 Sixth Ave. S. both carry the 33701 ZIP code (CMS).
