About Us:

Gulf Coast Medical Center opened in March 2009 when Southwest Regional Hospital and Gulf Coast Hospital merged into a new state-of-the-art hospital. Gulf Coast Medical Center wraps around the former Gulf Coast Hospital and consists of 436,000 square feet of new construction and 20,000 square feet of renovation to the former facility.

The hospital has an open-heart surgery program, an orthopedic surgery program, and the region's only Kidney Transplant Center, which has one of the shortest wait times in the nation for kidney transplants.
