Sacred
Heart Health System, the company that owns the hospital in Port St.
Joe is changing its name.
The
comany has formally changed its name to Ascension Sacred Heart and is
adopting a new logo to fully identify itself as part of Ascension.
The
new name reflects the fact that for 20 years, Sacred Heart has been
part of Ascension, which is one of the leading nonprofit and Catholic
health systems in the U.S.
In
Florida, Ascension operates hospitals in Pensacola, Miramar Beach,
Panama City and Port St. Joe, in addition to three Ascension St.
Vincent’s hospitals in Northeast Florida.
The
combining of the Ascension name with Sacred Heart’s is part of an
effort to make it easier for patients to access the care they need
within Ascension’s national, integrated health system.
Ascension
operates more than 2,600 sites of care – including 150 hospitals
and more than 50 senior living facilities – in 21 states and
Washington, D.C.
As
part of the transformation, the names of all Ascension Sacred Heart
facilities are changing, including outpatient centers, physician
offices and hospitals.
Physician
offices will be rebranded as Ascension Medical Group Sacred Heart.
All
facilities across Northwest Florida should have new signs by the end
of November.
Sacred
Heart Hospital on the Gulf in Port St. Joe is now known as Ascension
Sacred Heart Gulf.
Ascension
Sacred Heart Gulf is a 19-bed community hospital that has been
consistently rated as among the best hospitals for overall patient
satisfaction.
This
year, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services released its
Overall Hospital Quality Star Ratings for the nation's hospitals.
Hospitals received ratings from one to five stars - Ascension Sacred
Heart Hospital Gulf was one of only nine hospitals in Florida to
receive the five-star rating.
