Plant City, FL

South Florida Baptist Hospital is BayCare, the region’s largest academic health system. And that means no matter where you go in Tampa Bay and across West Central Florida, you have access to personalized, world-class health care, close to home. Your health care records are available across BayCare, your care teams work together and managing your health is easier.

Since 1953, South Florida Baptist Hospital has been a trusted and loved hospital for all our community’s health and wellness needs.
