Our History
North Brevard County Hospital District, dba Parrish Medical Center (PMC),
was founded nearly 60 years ago by the State of Florida. In 1958, PMC
opened as a single-story, 28-bed hospital set within an orange grove on
the banks of the Indian River. In 1963, PMC expanded health services and
grew to 210-beds and a full complement of ancillary health services.
In 2002, PMC transformed healthcare delivery within the community and worldwide
with the opening of its 371,000-square-foot, five-story replacement hospital.
The replacement hospital was among the first of its kind to be wholly
designed and constructed using evidence-based healing design earning PMC
national recognition as One of America’s finest healing environments®.
PMC has since served as a leader in providing therapeutic healing environments
as part of our person and family-centered model of care, including adopting
the healing design concept within each of our outpatient Parrish Healthcare
Centers. This design concept is now recommended by CMS as the preferred
design approach for all hospitals.
Parrish Medical Center is proud to serve as an independent, not-for-profit,
public community hospital—and doing so at levels that place us among
the nation’s very best by any measure. And, despite the medical
center’s special taxing district status, Parrish is doing so with
zero tax dollars assessed for more than 22 years.
Parrish Medical Center (PMC) became a member of the Mayo Clinic Care Network
in June 2014.
PMC was the first Central Florida member of the network and the third
in Florida. The Mayo Clinic Care Network extends Mayo Clinic’s knowledge
to physicians and providers interested in working together in the best
interest of their patients. Using digital technology, Parrish Healthcare
physicians, with Parrish Medical Group and the Parrish Health Network
are able to collaborate with Mayo Clinic on patient care, community health
and innovative health care delivery. Your Parrish Healthcare physicians
have access to the latest evidence-based medical information through the
AskMayoExpert database and connect directly with Mayo specialists on questions
related to complex medical cases.
PMC is recognized as the First Hospital to Earn PSMF 5-Star Hospital Ranking
