AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Discussion and direction, regarding possible County mechanisms
for financing rebuilding of Fisherman's Hospital following significant Hurricane Irma damage. (To
be heard with Item 44178, Presentation by Baptist Health South.)
ITEM BACKGROUND: Fisherman's Community Hospital was purchased by Baptist Health
South in July 2017. Fisherman's is an all- purpose, critical access hospital offering a 24/7 emergency
room, inpatient and outpatient surgery, diagnostic imaging, and physical and occupational therapy.
Fisherman's Hospital suffered significant damage during Hurricane Irma. The main facility has
been closed since September 10, 2018. To ensure that the community (including storm first
responders) had access to care in the wake of the storm, the hospital opened a temporary unit on the
hospital grounds. Baptist Health South shortly intends to replace the temporary unit with a modular
hospital in the same location.
In February 2018, Baptist Health South Florida, the region's largest not - for - profit healthcare
organization — announced plans to design and build an entirely new hospital in Marathon.
Construction of the new facility is expected to cost $40 million, and is slated to begin during the first
half of 2019.
Baptist Health South is seeking an expression of commitment from Monroe County on the possible
use of public dollars toward the rebuilding effort. County staff can outline the options for the
Commissioners, and seek direction from the Commissioners on the options available.
