Good Samaritan Medical Center (West Palm Beach, Florida)
Good Samaritan Medical Center or Good Samaritan Hospital is a 333-bed acute care hospital located in West Palm Beach, Florida. History The hospital opened in May 1920,[1] replacing "Emergency Hospital" (which dated from about 1914), with 35 beds located on 12th street near the lakefront[2][3][4] (now Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard) and Dixie Highway. Dr. William Ernest Van Landingham (1879-1973), a recent arrival and then secretary of the one-year-old Palm Beach County Medical Society, was a co-founder and the first administrator.[5] The Victor W. Farris Building was completed in 1988. Another building is called Flagler Waterway.[citation needed] A brick building next to Burger King has been abandoned. In 2001, Tenet Healthcare acquired the hospital (along with St. Mary's Hospital, also located in the county).[6] In 2009, the Hospital celebrated its 90th anniversary.[7] References
