UF Health Jacksonville serves as the primary safety-net hospital for Duval County and Northeast Florida, operating one of the region's busiest emergency departments and a comprehensive behavioral health center. Baptist Health is Jacksonville's largest private health system, operating multiple hospital campuses including Baptist Medical Center Jacksonville, Wolfson Children's Hospital, and Baptist MD Anderson Cancer Center.
