MIRAMAR BEACH, Fla. (Oct. 19, 2018) – Sacred Heart Hospital on the Gulf resumed inpatient services this morning while utilities and communications continue to improve. The hospital in Port St. Joe will be fully operational Monday when surgical capabilities and outpatient diagnostic services will resume.
