St. Petersburg has transformed from a retirement community into one of Florida's most dynamic small business cities — a growing technology and creative economy in the Edge District and downtown, a thriving arts and hospitality sector along Central Avenue and Beach Drive, healthcare services across Pinellas County, and professional services businesses serving both the local and Tampa Bay markets. Florida Blue and Aetna dominate the Pinellas County small group market. BayCare Health System (Bayfront Health St. Petersburg, St. Anthony's Hospital) and HCA Florida Northside Hospital are the primary facilities serving St. Petersburg employers.
