Hospitals near Micco and Barefoot Bay — South Brevard, Florida

With no hospital of their own in the CMS file, Micco, Barefoot Bay, Grant-Valkaria and Malabar rely on Orlando Health Sebastian River Hospital on U.S. 1, Palm Bay Hospital on Malabar Road, and two Melbourne hospitals.

Each of those hospitals is listed by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services as an acute care hospital with emergency services. In the Brevard rows of the CMS Hospital General Information file, Palm Bay Hospital at 1425 Malabar Rd NE in Palm Bay carries emergency services Yes (CMS Hospital General Information, Brevard), as do Holmes Regional at 1350 S Hickory St and Orlando Health Melbourne at 250 North Wickham Road in Melbourne.

The Sebastian hospital sits across the county line, so it appears in the Indian River County rows. CMS lists Orlando Health Sebastian River Hospital at 13695 US Hwy 1, Sebastian, with emergency services Yes, and Cleveland Clinic Indian River Hospital at 1000 36th St in Vero Beach farther south (CMS Hospital General Information, Indian River).

U.S. 1 is the thread between Micco, Barefoot Bay and the Sebastian hospital. FDOT's corridor project on the highway runs from the Indian River/Brevard County line north past the signals at Micco Road and Barefoot Bay Boulevard (FDOT project 435657-1), the same road on which the Sebastian hospital's address sits.

For Malabar and Grant-Valkaria, the link to Palm Bay Hospital is Malabar Road, State Road 514, which FDOT shows meeting U.S. 1 in Malabar (FDOT project 452883-1). The hospital's CMS address places it on Malabar Road in Palm Bay, ZIP 32907.

Holmes Regional Medical Center in Melbourne is the only Brevard hospital on the Florida Department of Health trauma center list, as a Level II center, and the list names no trauma center in Indian River County.

The state list, updated July 23, 2026, shows Holmes Regional Medical Center as Level II in Brevard and HCA Florida Lawnwood Hospital as Level II in St. Lucie County (Florida DOH trauma center list). For Micco and Barefoot Bay, the list names no Level I or Level II center in Indian River County, which lies between Brevard and St. Lucie.

The Agency for Health Care Administration gives the Lawnwood address as 1700 S 23rd St, Fort Pierce (AHCA stroke programs report). The same AHCA report gives Holmes Regional's address as 1350 S Hickory St, Melbourne, matching its CMS record.

Neither Orlando Health Sebastian River Hospital nor Palm Bay Hospital appears on the Department of Health trauma list. Both are listed by CMS as acute care hospitals with emergency services, which is a different status from a state trauma designation for the Micco, Barefoot Bay and Malabar area.

Palm Bay Hospital and Orlando Health Sebastian River Hospital are listed as Primary Stroke Centers, and Holmes Regional Medical Center and Cleveland Clinic Indian River Hospital as Thrombectomy-Capable Stroke Centers, in AHCA's September 1, 2026 reports.

The Agency for Health Care Administration's Primary Stroke Center report lists Palm Bay Hospital, 1425 Malabar Rd NE, as a Joint Commission Primary Stroke Center effective June 16, 2021 (AHCA Primary Stroke Center report, page 1). The same Brevard block lists Orlando Health Melbourne Hospital from January 14, 2026 and Viera Hospital from June 9, 2021.

Across the county line, the report lists Orlando Health Sebastian River Hospital at 13695 US Highway 1 in Sebastian as a Joint Commission Primary Stroke Center effective August 16, 2023 (AHCA Primary Stroke Center report, page 3). That listing gives the hospital's phone as (772) 589-3186, while the CMS file shows (772) 589-3187.

AHCA's separate Thrombectomy-Capable Stroke Center report names Holmes Regional Medical Center in Melbourne from January 26, 2023, Cleveland Clinic Indian River Hospital in Vero Beach from May 6, 2021, and HCA Florida Lawnwood Hospital in Fort Pierce from February 27, 2021 (AHCA Thrombectomy-Capable report). These are state program listings for the hospitals nearest Grant-Valkaria, Micco and Barefoot Bay, not clinical guidance.

CMS lists six Brevard acute care hospitals with emergency services: the Palm Bay and two Melbourne hospitals, plus Viera Hospital, Cape Canaveral Hospital and Parrish Medical Center farther north.

Viera Hospital is at 8745 N Wickham Rd with a Melbourne mailing address, Cape Canaveral Hospital at 701 W Cocoa Beach Causeway in Cocoa Beach, and Parrish Medical Center at 951 N Washington Ave in Titusville (CMS Hospital General Information, Brevard).

The same CMS rows list two psychiatric hospitals in Brevard, Circles of Care and Palm Point Behavioral Health, with emergency services marked No. They are not emergency departments for Palm Bay, Malabar or the southern Brevard towns.

CMS overall star ratings in the current file are 3 for Palm Bay Hospital, 4 for Holmes Regional, 3 for Orlando Health Melbourne and 5 for Viera Hospital in Brevard (CMS Hospital General Information, Brevard), and 4 for Orlando Health Sebastian River Hospital in Indian River County (CMS Hospital General Information, Indian River). CMS also flags Holmes Regional, Viera, Parrish Medical Center and Cleveland Clinic Indian River as meeting its birthing friendly criteria.

Brevard County Fire Rescue lists Station 86 at 301 Barefoot Bay Boulevard in Barefoot Bay and Station 87 at 2855 Valkaria Road in Grant-Valkaria, the two county stations with Barefoot Bay and Grant-Valkaria addresses.

The county's station list gives Station 86 a Barefoot Bay address with ZIP 32958, the Sebastian ZIP, and Station 87 a Grant/Valkaria address with ZIP 32950 (Brevard County Fire Rescue station list). The same list places Station 85 at 150 Malabar Road and Station 84 at 1201 Port Malabar Blvd NE, both with Palm Bay addresses.

Barefoot Bay Boulevard and Micco Road are the two U.S. 1 intersections where FDOT's resurfacing project between the county line and Goat Creek replaced and upgraded the traffic signals (FDOT project 435657-1). Station 86 has its address on that boulevard in Barefoot Bay.

AHCA's September 1, 2026 list of hospital-based off-campus emergency departments includes HCA Florida Vero Beach Emergency, a part of HCA Florida Lawnwood Hospital, at 660 S US Highway 1 in Vero Beach, south of Sebastian on the same highway.

AHCA lists each off-campus emergency department under its parent hospital, which in this case is HCA Florida Lawnwood Hospital at 1700 S 23rd St in Fort Pierce (AHCA off-campus emergency department report, page 6). The Vero Beach site's address is on U.S. 1, the highway that also passes Micco and Barefoot Bay.

The Vero Beach site does not appear as its own row in the CMS Indian River County results, which list only Orlando Health Sebastian River Hospital and Cleveland Clinic Indian River Hospital (CMS Hospital General Information, Indian River). For Micco and Barefoot Bay residents, it is a third emergency site in Indian River County, after the two hospitals CMS lists there.
