Baptist Health South Florida Fishermen’s Community Hospital is a two-story, 37,330-square-foot facility that includes nine emergency treatment rooms, eight patient rooms, three chemo treatment rooms, and replaces the hospital destroyed during Hurricane Irma in 2017.
Because of the powerful hurricanes that impact the Middle Keys, the new hospital sits at a higher elevation and features an impact-resistant design, with a strong core of durable tilt-wall concrete. Removable flood barriers are also a part of the design to keep storm surge out of the building.
