What is the Bayfront hospital in St. Petersburg called in official listings, and where is it?

State and federal listings name the Bayfront hospital in St. Petersburg Orlando Health Bayfront Hospital, at 701 6th St S, St. Petersburg, FL 33701.

The federal hospital record gives the main number as (727) 823-1234 and places the campus in Pinellas County under facility ID 100032 (CMS Hospital General Information). The state stroke program report prints the same 701 6th St S address and the same (727) 823-1234 number for the St. Petersburg campus (AHCA Comprehensive Stroke Centers report), so the two official listings agree.

None of the official sources checked for this page uses the name Bayfront Health St. Petersburg. The Florida Department of Health trauma system assessment dated August 31, 2020 and amended January 26, 2021 lists the hospital as Bayfront Medical Center, a Level II center in the Pasco and Pinellas trauma area (DOH Trauma System Assessment). The July 23, 2026 state trauma list, the AHCA report and CMS all print Orlando Health Bayfront Hospital (DOH Florida Trauma Centers), and CMS and AHCA tie that name to the same file number, 100032 (AHCA report).

Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital, also in St. Petersburg, is a separate entry that the state lists as a pediatric trauma center in Pinellas County (DOH Florida Trauma Centers).

The state trauma list was updated July 23, 2026, and its only two Pinellas entries are the St. Petersburg Bayfront campus at Level II and Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital as a pediatric center (DOH Florida Trauma Centers). The Pasco row, HCA Florida Bayonet Point Hospital, is the only Pasco County entry and is also listed at Level II; its Hudson address, 14000 Fivay Rd, appears on the AHCA report (AHCA report).

A Florida trauma center title is a state approval. To be eligible for approval as a Level I, Level II or pediatric trauma center, a hospital applies to the Department of Health under Chapter 395, Part II, Florida Statutes, and Chapter 64J-2, Florida Administrative Code, and each approved hospital is issued a certificate of approval; trauma centers are also subject to onsite evaluations by a review team of out-of-state reviewers (DOH Trauma Center Designation). The Bayfront Level II status in St. Petersburg can be checked on the state list.

How does Bayfront fit into the Pinellas and Pasco trauma area?

The 2020 state trauma assessment places a Bayfront Level II center in Trauma Service Area 9, which covers Pasco and Pinellas counties and had three trauma centers.

The Department of Health assessment counts three trauma centers allocated to Trauma Service Area 9 and three in place: two Level II centers, no Level I center and one stand-alone pediatric center, for a TSA population it gives as 1,528,943 (DOH Trauma System Assessment). It names Bayfront Medical Center and Regional Medical Center Bayonet Point at Level II and Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital as the pediatric center, and it lists a minimum caseload volume of 1,000 for Bayfront Medical Center, with 685 high-risk patients, 68.5 percent.

A caution on dates: that assessment is the August 31, 2020 edition, amended January 26, 2021, and its names differ from the current list. The July 23, 2026 state list prints Orlando Health Bayfront Hospital at Level II in Pinellas and HCA Florida Bayonet Point Hospital at Level II in Pasco (DOH Florida Trauma Centers). The assessment says state law requires the department to prepare the analysis by August 31, 2020 and every three years thereafter, so a newer edition may replace these Pinellas figures (DOH Trauma System Assessment).

Neither the 2020 assessment nor the July 2026 list shows a Level I center in Pinellas or Pasco, and on the 2026 list the downtown St. Petersburg Level II campus is the only Pinellas entry that is not a pediatric center (DOH Florida Trauma Centers).

Is Bayfront in St. Petersburg a state-listed stroke center?

Yes: Florida's Agency for Health Care Administration lists Orlando Health Bayfront Hospital in St. Petersburg as a Comprehensive Stroke Center, with the program effective May 30, 2013.

The AHCA stroke programs report run on July 1, 2026 counts 53 Comprehensive Stroke Centers statewide and names DNVGL as the qualifying organization for the St. Petersburg Bayfront program (AHCA Comprehensive Stroke Centers report). Every Pinellas row in the table comes from that report.

Two of the four Pinellas County Comprehensive Stroke Centers are in St. Petersburg: Bayfront downtown and HCA Florida Northside Hospital on 49th St N (AHCA report). The state posts this report with its other hospital lists, including Acute Stroke Ready, Thrombectomy-Capable and Primary Stroke Center reports, Florida Hospital Bed Counts and Statutory Teaching Hospitals, on one AHCA reports page (AHCA Hospital & Outpatient Services Unit Reports). That page is the place to recheck the St. Pete listing when the report is rerun.

What kind of hospital is Bayfront in St. Petersburg?

The federal record classifies Orlando Health Bayfront Hospital in St. Petersburg as an acute care hospital under voluntary nonprofit, private ownership, with emergency services.

Those three St. Petersburg entries come straight from the CMS hospital general information file, which records the hospital type as Acute Care Hospitals, the ownership as Voluntary non-profit, Private, and emergency services as Yes (CMS Hospital General Information).

The same CMS entry marks the St. Petersburg campus as meeting the criteria for the federal birthing-friendly designation (CMS Hospital General Information). This guide reports the flag and makes no claim about care or outcomes at the hospital.

The St. Petersburg hospital operator's own site is not used as a source here. The AHCA reports page posts a state Florida Hospital Bed Counts report alongside Statutory Teaching Hospitals, Florida Transplant Hospitals and Florida Burn Unit Hospitals lists (AHCA reports page).

How does a St. Petersburg resident reach or check on Bayfront?

The main Bayfront number on both the federal and state listings is (727) 823-1234, and the campus address is 701 6th St S, St. Petersburg, FL 33701.

The CMS file lists that main line and records emergency services as Yes for the hospital at 701 6th St S (CMS Hospital General Information). The state trauma list shows Bayfront as the only Level II trauma center in Pinellas County (DOH Florida Trauma Centers).

To confirm the downtown St. Petersburg hospital's status later, three official lists can be rechecked: the Department of Health trauma list for the Level II title, the AHCA stroke report for the Comprehensive Stroke Center listing and the CMS hospital file for name, address and ownership.
