History
In 1965, (back then known as Palm Springs General Hospital) the hospital opened in what was then the rural outskirts of Hialeah in northwest Miami-Dade County, Florida. As dramatic growth elevated Hialeah to the eight largest city in the State of Florida, Larkin Community Hospital Palm Springs Campus has grown to be one of the largest privately owned hospitals in the state. Due to the rapid influx of Hispanic-Americans, the hospital became largely bilingual in both Spanish and English as well as Haitian Creole.[6]
Over the years, Larkin Community Hospital Palm Springs Campus has been through new renovations and construction. In 1995,(back then known as Palm Springs General Hospital) a complete renovation was undertaken of the Intensive Care Unit, and 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.[6]
