## History[edit]

In 1965, the hospital opened in what was then the rural outskirts of Hialeah in northwest Miami-Dade County, Florida. Due to the rapid influx of Hispanic-Americans, the hospital became largely bilingual in both Spanish and English as well as Haitian Creole.[3]

Palm Springs General Hospital has undergone several renovations and expansion. In 1995, a complete renovation was undertaken of the intensive care unit. In 2004, a 24-bed emergency department was built alongside the hospital. Over time, its outpatient services and GI departments were expanded, and a laparoscopic surgery center was opened. In 2013, a cardiac catheterization unit was opened.[3]

## Services[edit]

The hospital offers endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms, which may lead to shorter hospital stays compared to the traditional open surgery.[3]

## Acquisition[edit]

In February 2016, the hospital was sold to another Miami health care provider, Larkin Community Hospital, for $40 million. Larkin's other hospital is in South Miami.[4][5] [6]
