St. Anthony's Hospital is a private 393-bed hospital located at 1200 7th Ave. N. in St. Petersburg, Florida. It was founded in 1931 by the Franciscan Sisters of Allegany and is currently part of the BayCare Health System.

History[edit | edit source]

Originally opened in 1920 as Faith Hospital, St. Anthony's Hospital faced financial difficulties during the Great Depression and closed in 1930. In June 1931, the Franciscan Sisters of Allegany purchased the hospital for $40,000 and renamed it after the Franciscan saint, St. Anthony of Padua, due to his selfless dedication to God.
