Dr. Sloggett purchased a house on Marine Street for his home in 1884, but his goal was to eventually transform the structure into a hospital.

[5] The children of the St. Augustine Loyal Temperance held a fair at the Union chapel on April 7, 1888.

On May 22, 1888 he invited St. Augustine's most influential women to his Ponce de León Hotel and offered them a hospital if the community would commit to operate and manage the facility.

To meet the increasing demand for healthcare, the hospital's south wing was renovated, providing room for a clinic and doctor offices.

The hospital was expanded to provide more surgical capacity and an in-house psychiatric services center was established to serve the area.

Planning began for a new health park on a more accessible 75-acre parcel along the east side of U.S. Highway 1.

[14] In 2021, Flagler Health+ purchased land in northern St. Johns County and Palm Coast to develop new hospitals.
