Sacred Heart Hospital on the Gulf Since its inception, Mexico Beach has been a fantastic place to vacation. The town’s only drawback has been the lack of an easily accessible, responsive, quality health care facility. With the opening of Sacred Heart Hospital on the Gulf in 2010, that issue has been officially resolved! Sacred Heart Health System is known for providing high-quality health care to adults and children throughout Northwest Florida. The regional hub of the Health System is a 466-bed acute care facility in Pensacola, which includes Sacred Heart Hospital, Sacred Heart Children’s Hospital, and Sacred Heart Women’s Center. The system also includes Sacred Heart Hospital on the Emerald Coast, a 58-bed facility in Walton County, and a large regional network of over 135 primary care physicians and specialists. Sacred Heart Hospital on the Gulf is the newest addition to the Sacred Heart Health System.
