Palm Beach Gardens Medical Center Celebrates 50th Anniversary

Palm Beach County’s first hospital to perform open-heart sur-
gery is proud to celebrate its 50th anniversary.
Founded in 1968, Palm Beach Gardens Medical Center is now a
199-bed acute care hospital serving the medical and surgical needs
of Palm Beach County and the Treasure Coast. The hospital was
the first in Palm Beach County to perform open-heart procedures,
and has since remained one of the area’s leading heart hospitals.
Palm Beach Gardens Medical Center offers comprehensive car-
diac care and advanced minimally invasive procedures, including
Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) and MitraClip.
The hospital is also the first in Palm Beach, Broward and Martin
County to adopt the minimally invasive convergent approach to
treat patients with atrial fibrillation.
“Palm Beach Gardens Medical Center has become trusted by
families throughout the Palm Beaches and Treasure Coast for the
quality of our medical care and the dedication and warmth of our
people,” commented Trey Abshier, chief executive officer of Palm
Beach Gardens Medical Center. “We will continue to bring advanced medical technologies and innovative services to our community.
