ShorePoint Health Punta Gorda
On August 17, 1947, ShorePoint Health Punta Gorda—then known as Charlotte Hospital—opened its doors with 18 beds and officially became Charlotte County’s first hospital. Over the years, as Charlotte County and its surrounding areas grew, so did its first hospital.
Today, ShorePoint Health Punta Gorda is a 208-bed Joint Commission Accredited hospital part of a regional network of two hospitals along the I-75 corridor. ShorePoint Health Punta Gorda features all-private patient rooms in the acute care setting, and offers inpatient behavioral health services, the Joint and Spine Center, a bariatric surgery program, an accredited hyperbaric and wound care center and emergency care services.
ShorePoint Health Punta Gorda proudly serves residents in Charlotte, Sarasota, Lee, Collier and DeSoto Counties. Staff includes roughly 450 associates, with 300+ physicians representing more than 40 specialties. Supporting the health care staff is more than 100 volunteers who donate thousands of service hours each year.
All Private Rooms
ShorePoint Health Punta Gorda offers patients the convenience of single-occupancy, private patient rooms at no additional cost. Patients at ShorePoint Health Punta Gorda can:
- Receive extra privacy. You and your healthcare team will be able to communicate clearly without worry of disturbing another patient or patient family.
- Stress less. With the single-occupancy rooms, there is plenty of room to accommodate your family, friends and support system to aide in your healing process.
- Have more control of your environment in ways that are not possible in a shared room. Being able to control the volume on your television, listen to music or even close or open the window shades can be an important factor in your recovery.
In addition, all patient rooms have been updated to include fresh paint and additional accommodations for visiting family and friends such as seating and reading lights.
No one wants to be in the hospital, but the environment we have created at ShorePoint Health Punta Gorda was created with you and your loved one's comfort, health and recovery in mind.
