Palm Beach Gardens Medical Center, part of the Palm Beach Health Network (an HCA Florida-affiliated system), is a 199-bed acute-care hospital at 3360 Burns Rd that has served the county and Treasure Coast for more than 55 years. It was the first hospital in Palm Beach County and the Treasure Coast to perform open-heart surgery, and it has maintained a leading regional cardiac-care program since -- a real, dated institutional fact, not a marketing claim.
Recent National Quality Recognition
Healthgrades recognized Palm Beach Gardens Medical Center with its 2024 Pulmonary Care Excellence Award and its 2023 Cardiac Surgery Excellence Award, placing the hospital in the top 10% nationally for those specific service lines per Healthgrades' methodology. The hospital has also received the American Heart Association's Get With The Guidelines-Stroke Gold Plus Quality Achievement Award with Target: Stroke Honor Roll Elite Plus recognition consecutively since 2015.
Services Offered On-Site
Beyond cardiac care, the hospital offers orthopedics and joint replacement, cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation, diagnostic imaging, general and robotic surgery, neurosurgery, urology, stroke treatment, and 24-hour emergency care, per the hospital's own service listing.
Additional Regional Hospital Access
For higher-acuity trauma care, specialized pediatric services, or a second hospital-system option, residents also have access to nearby facilities outside city limits, including Jupiter Medical Center to the north and St. Mary's Medical Center (home to Palm Beach Children's Hospital) in West Palm Beach to the south -- both a short drive via I-95, not inside Palm Beach Gardens itself.
