Suncoast Behavioral Health Center, formerly known as Manatee Palms Youth Services, is a 60-bed psychiatric hospital in Bradenton, Florida.

In 2000 it was purchased by Ramsay Youth Services, when that company acquired Charter Behavioral Health Systems of Manatee Palms and the corresponding real estate as a strategic investment.

Manatee Palms Youth Services had been required to cease admissions twice by the State of Florida due to widespread abuse and neglect.

[6][7][8] In April 2007, Manatee Palms instituted a voluntary moratorium on admissions, related to a state investigation into the hiring of staff members with criminal records, insufficient supervision of suicidal patients, and disintegrating physical facilities.

[8][9] Manatee Palms was fined $12,000 by the state, required to make millions of dollars worth of renovations, and to reduce its patient census to zero before reopening in May 2007.
