The Baťa Hospital was established in 1927 at the initiative and expenses of the Baťa Comp. due to the needs of the company's employees. It was a company hospital managed by a specially elected hospital committee. The actual construction began in 1927. At the beginning, the hospital had three specialized departments. In 1932, it already had 11 buildings.
A large part of the Baťa hospital staff consisted of Jewish doctors, of whom more than two dozen worked at the hospital at the end of the 1930s. Some of them left Baťa's hospital to set up private surgeries or went to another hospital. However, most of them left the Baťa Hospital because of anti-Jewish measures introduced by the state.
After the Second World War, the Baťa Hospital was transformed into a hospital of the national company Baťa Zlín, later the national company Svit Gottwaldov. In 1949, the hospital was transformed into the State Regional Hospital.
