The two HCA Florida hospitals give full street addresses. HCA Florida St. Petersburg Hospital gives its address as 6500 38th Ave N, St Petersburg, FL 33710, with phone 727-384-1414 (HCA Florida St. Petersburg Hospital). HCA Florida Northside Hospital lists 6000 49th St N, St Petersburg, FL 33709, phone 727-521-4411 (HCA Florida Northside Hospital).

The other three are in or near downtown St. Petersburg. BayCare lists St. Anthony's Hospital at 1200 Seventh Ave. N., St. Petersburg, FL 33705, phone (727) 825-1100 (BayCare). The City of St. Petersburg lists Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital and Research Center among the key areas of Downtown, alongside the Innovation District with the USF St. Petersburg campus and Bayboro Harbor (City of St. Petersburg). Orlando Health Bayfront Hospital's anchor profile on the St. Petersburg Innovation District site says it is situated in the heart of downtown St. Petersburg (St. Petersburg Innovation District, Orlando Health Bayfront Hospital profile).

Which St. Petersburg hospitals are state trauma centers?

Orlando Health Bayfront Hospital is a Level II trauma center and Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital is a Pediatric trauma center on the Florida Department of Health list updated July 23, 2026; they are the only Pinellas County entries.

The state list gives each trauma center a level and a county. It shows Orlando Health Bayfront Hospital as Level II in Pinellas and Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital as Pediatric in Pinellas (Florida Department of Health). No other Pinellas hospital appears on it, so St. Anthony's, HCA Florida St. Petersburg Hospital and HCA Florida Northside Hospital are not state trauma centers as of that update, even though each lists emergency care.

Both Pinellas entries are St. Petersburg hospitals. Across Tampa Bay, the same list shows St. Joseph's Hospital in Hillsborough County as Level II / Pediatric (Florida Department of Health). Bayfront's own profile describes its trauma status in different words from the state list, so this guide uses the state list's designations.

For St. Petersburg readers checking a hospital's status later, the Department of Health posts the list as a PDF stored under an August 2025 upload folder, while the document itself reads Updated July 23, 2026. The date printed on the list, not the folder in its web address, is the one that counts.

What do the downtown St. Petersburg hospitals say about themselves?

Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital in St. Petersburg describes itself as a 259-bed teaching hospital that has cared only for children since 1926, and Orlando Health Bayfront Hospital describes itself as a 480-bed downtown hospital acquired by Orlando Health in 2020.

The Johns Hopkins All Children's profile on the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals site calls the St. Petersburg hospital a 259-bed teaching hospital with a legacy of care focused solely on children since 1926 (Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital profile, Children's Miracle Network Hospitals). The hospital's own Johns Hopkins Medicine pages returned a human check to this research and were not used, so this guide states no more about its services than the profile and the state list support.

Bayfront's anchor profile on the St. Petersburg Innovation District site calls it the 480-bed Bayfront Hospital, says it has served residents of the region for more than 100 years, and says it was acquired by Orlando Health in 2020 (St. Petersburg Innovation District, Orlando Health Bayfront Hospital profile). The state trauma list uses the name Orlando Health Bayfront Hospital (Florida Department of Health). The Orlando Health website answered this research with a rate-limit error, so the hospital's street address and phone are left out here rather than copied from older pages.

Official St. Petersburg pages use the older name. The city's economic development districts page lists Bayfront Health, alongside Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital and USF St. Petersburg, among the major institutions of its Marine and Life Sciences sector (City of St. Petersburg).

Where do visitors park at St. Anthony's Hospital in St. Petersburg?

St. Anthony's Hospital in St. Petersburg offers free self-parking in multi-level garages: the Seventh Avenue garage serves the main entrance and the Jackson Street garage is near the Emergency Center.

At St. Anthony's in St. Petersburg, BayCare says free self-parking is available to all visitors and patients, and that the Jackson Street garage is near the Emergency Center, the Medical Arts Building and the Suncoast Building (BayCare). Complimentary valet runs at the Seventh Avenue entrance Monday to Friday from 5:15am to 9pm, and at the Emergency Center 24 hours a day, seven days a week (BayCare). BayCare lists further weekday valet points: the Suncoast Building from 6am to 6pm and the Medical Arts Building from 7am to 6pm (BayCare).

St. Anthony's on Seventh Ave. N. traces its start to 1931. BayCare says St. Anthony's Hospital was founded in 1931 by the Franciscan Sisters of Allegany (BayCare). Today the hospital's page presents St. Anthony's as part of BayCare (BayCare).

Where are the HCA Florida hospitals in St. Petersburg?

HCA Florida St. Petersburg Hospital is at 6500 38th Ave N and HCA Florida Northside Hospital is at 6000 49th St N, with 215 and 288 beds as each hospital states.

HCA Florida St. Petersburg Hospital calls itself a full-service 215-bed acute care facility. It lists 24/7 emergency care, general and robotic surgery, and women's services that include prenatal and post-partum care, labor and delivery, and a nursery (HCA Florida St. Petersburg Hospital). Its pre-admissions office is listed at the same 6500 38th Ave. North address, telephone (727) 341-4808 (HCA Florida St. Petersburg Hospital).

HCA Florida Northside Hospital in St. Petersburg calls itself a 288-bed hospital with a 24/7 ER, a Comprehensive Stroke Center and an advanced radiology department. Among its accreditations, the St. Petersburg hospital lists Comprehensive Stroke Center accreditation by DNV-GL and by the Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) (HCA Florida Northside Hospital). It also lists accreditation for CT, MRI, nuclear medicine and ultrasound by the American College of Radiology (HCA Florida Northside Hospital).

Where is the VA hospital for St. Petersburg veterans?

VA Bay Pines health care lists its location as 10000 Bay Pines Boulevard, Bay Pines, FL 33744-8200, an address the VA gives as Bay Pines rather than St. Petersburg.

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs page for VA Bay Pines health care gives that Bay Pines Boulevard address and lists programs for homeless veterans, women veterans and minority veterans, among others (U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs). Because the VA lists the address as Bay Pines, the campus does not count among the five St. Petersburg hospitals on this page.

The VA page left its main phone number blank when fetched on October 15, 2026, so this St. Petersburg guide lists no Bay Pines phone; the general VA line shown on the same page is 800-698-2411 (U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs).
