A rapidly growing coastal community, Port St. Joe, Florida, needed a state-of-the-art medical facility. This hospital serves as a pivotal resource for both inpatient and outpatient care, featuring a 25-bed nursing wing, a surgical suite, advanced radiological facilities, a 24-hour emergency department, diagnostic services, a chapel, a cafeteria, a helipad, and comprehensive administrative and support services. A central energy plant ensures reliable operation of the facility. 

The design also incorporates future expansion plans, including an additional 25 patient rooms, outpatient clinical spaces, a nuclear medicine testing suite, and enlarged emergency, radiological, and operating areas. Adjacent to the hospital is a medical office building, also designed by DAG. The hospital is designed to endure a Category 4 storm surge and withstand coastal wind pressures, complying with the stringent requirements of Florida’s Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA).
