Regional Healthcare Inc. had Spring Hill Hospital built and equipped for $22 million. In October 1991, Spring Hill Hospital opened with 75 beds. This business venture failed, forcing Regional Healthcare Inc. to file for bankruptcy.[2]

Also the hospital network signed a thirty-year lease with Hernando County for Spring Hill Regional Hospital.[3] Health Management Associates paid off $78 million of debt owned by Regional Healthcare Inc. to its creditors. It also paid Hernando County $300,000 each year in rent and it spent $25 million to make improvements on Brooksville Regional Hospital, Spring Hill Regional Hospital and PineBrook Regional Medical Center.[3]
On June 3, Health Management Associates announced that it had finished its acquisition of Regional Healthcare Inc.[4]

On December 1, 2021, Bayfront Health Spring Hill rebranded to Bravera Health Spring Hill.[9]
On July 24, 2023, Community Health Systems announced that Tampa General Hospital would purchase Bravera Health Spring Hill and two other Bravera Health hospitals for $290 million.[10][11][12] It was later adjusted to $294 million.[1]
