In early August 2004, Bon Secours announced that it would sell St. Joseph's Hospital to Health Management Associates, there were other hospital networks interested in the hospital including HCA.[4][5] In 2005, Health Management Associates renamed St. Joseph's Hospital to Peace River Regional Medical Center.[6][7] On March 2011, construction began on the Peace River Heart Institute for $25 million. The two-story addition was built on top of the emergency department.[8][9] It opened on January 18, 2012, with three surgical suites, four catheterization laboratories, a coronary care unit with nineteen beds, a post-interventional cardiac cath unit with sixteen beds, also a pre-and post-interventional cardiac holding with eight beds.[9]
