Tallahassee Healthcare

The federal CMS Hospital General Information file lists three hospitals with a Tallahassee address, all in ZIP code 32308 in Leon County, and two of them offer emergency services.

Source for the table: CMS Hospital General Information. The Eastside Psychiatric Hospital phone number, with its 904 area code, is reported exactly as CMS lists it, and CMS lists (850) 656-5000 for HCA Florida Capital Hospital while the hospital's own site shows 850-325-5000; both are given here as published. The CMS file also carries star ratings and quality measures, which this page does not report.

The Tallahassee City Commission approved the transfer of City-owned hospital assets to Florida State University on March 11, 2026, under an agreement that includes an FSU investment of $1.7 billion (City of Tallahassee, March 11, 2026).

The City says the action sets in motion the transformation of the community's hospital into FSU Health, a full academic health center combining research, clinical care and teaching. Its release describes enforceable deed restrictions, reconveyance protections, bondholder assurances and a defined compensation and investment framework, which it says preserve the hospital's public mission, charity care commitment and regional service obligations (City of Tallahassee, March 11, 2026).

The terms were first set out in a memorandum of understanding announced by the City of Tallahassee on December 16, 2025, covering all city-owned hospital assets then leased to Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare, Inc., with City Commission action scheduled for its January 14, 2026, meeting at City Hall, 300 S. Adams St. Under that MOU, the contribution to citizens totals $109 million over 30 years and an additional investment of $250 million comes by the end of 2034, with total commitments expected to exceed $1.7 billion; FSU will ensure that charity and indigent care remains in full effect and at least as generous as what was in place (City of Tallahassee).

Each hospital system describes itself differently: Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare says it was founded in 1948 and is a private, not-for-profit community healthcare system, while HCA Florida Capital Hospital says it opened in 1979 and is owned by HCA Healthcare.

TMH lists the Florida State University College of Medicine among its partners, along with Capital Health Plan, Apalachee Center and Big Bend Hospice (Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare). HCA Florida Capital Hospital describes itself as a 288 bed acute care hospital with 24/7 emergency services in Leon and Gadsden Counties and more than 500 providers (HCA Florida Capital Hospital).

The HCA page lists its offerings as including a Behavioral Health Center, a Cancer Center, a Chest Pain Center with PCI, a Family Center and a Heart and Vascular Center (HCA Florida Capital Hospital). TMH's partner list also names Calhoun Liberty Hospital, Doctors' Memorial Hospital, Weems Memorial Hospital and University of Florida Health (Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare).

The HCA page gives its staff size two ways: its statistics box says 1,500 or more employees, while the text on the same page says more than 1,400 employees (HCA Florida Capital Hospital). Both figures are the hospital's own and are reported here as published.

The medical school that TMH lists as a partner is based in Tallahassee as well. The FSU College of Medicine lists its mailing address as 1115 West Call Street, Tallahassee, FL 32306, and its main phone as 850-644-1855. Its home page also reports that DM@FSU support for the college's pediatric outreach has topped $11.5 million, a figure the college publishes about its own program.

The Agency for Health Care Administration, which publishes the Florida Licensed Hospitals summary, lists its Hospital and Outpatient Services Unit is at 2727 Mahan Drive, MS #31, Tallahassee, phone (850) 412-4549.

The summary, which lists that Tallahassee address and is dated September 1, 2026, counts 361 licensed hospitals with 74,287 beds across Florida, of which 208 are general acute care hospitals, 39 psychiatric hospitals and 57 rehabilitation hospitals (Agency for Health Care Administration). The federal CMS file is the other public record: it lists each hospital's type, ownership and emergency services, and the same file carries a hospital overall rating field (CMS Hospital General Information).

In the Census Bureau's ACS 2020-2024 estimates, 7.8 percent of the City of Tallahassee civilian noninstitutionalized population, or 15,577 people, has no health insurance coverage (ACS 2020-2024 DP03, City of Tallahassee), compared with 7.4 percent, or 21,833 people, across Leon County (ACS 2020-2024 DP03, Leon County).

The Florida Department of Health in Leon County, known as DOH-Leon, answers at 850-404-6300, and its disease reporting line is 850-404-6299.

The DOH-Leon home page says Florida birth certificates from 1930 to the present are issued through the Bureau of Vital Statistics and can be ordered online through VitalChek, by mail, or in person, and it reminds residents who have a disability or special medical needs to register with the Florida Special Needs Shelter Registry so they have a safe place for evacuation (Florida Department of Health in Leon County). The page also announced that DOH-Leon offices would close at noon on Friday, October 9, 2026, in preparation for severe weather impacts.

No deeper guides are live yet inside the Tallahassee healthcare section, so this hub is the starting point for hospital and public health questions.

For quick reference, the questions this hub answers map to sections above: which hospitals exist and which have emergency services (the CMS table), what the City approved for its hospital assets in 2026, how TMH and HCA describe themselves, where hospitals are licensed and checked, and how to reach DOH-Leon for birth certificates and disease reporting.

The closest related page sits in the industries section: the Tallahassee health care industry guide covers hospital jobs and FSU Health from an employment angle. Future healthcare guides will be listed here as they are published.
