St John of God Hospital (Italian: Ospedale San Giovanni di Dio) is the main hospital in Crotone, Italy. It is located on Via Bologna, 12, opposite the Ezio Scida Stadium. Managed by ASL No. 5 since 1995, it offers over 300 beds.
Founded in the 12th century as a medieval hospital outside the city walls, it was originally run by Benedictine monks to support the community. In the 16th century, it was re-established as St John of God Hospital, dedicated to serving soldiers and the local poor. The hospital's current structure, inaugurated in 1972, includes modernized facilities and specialized departments, such as Cardiology and Intensive Care, reflecting its ongoing role in regional healthcare.
