On March 7, 1956, Naples Memorial Hospital began serving the residents and visitors of the greater Naples area with 50 beds in its first building. In 1966, the hospital added 50 more beds, an emergency room and several specialized departments. Later that decade, several more departments were added including an Intensive Care Unit. The hospital expanded the original building in 1970 to six stories and began construction on a new, two-story building next door. This building was later expanded to six stories and was dubbed the "South Tower" while the first tower was called the "North Tower". Construction on the Downtown Naples facility continued in the 1980s and on October 15, 1984, The North Collier Health Center opened its doors. This facility was opened as a satellite facility of the main hospital. Shortly after, on February 4, 1985, another satellite facility, which included a helipad, was opened on Marco Island.

In January 1990, North Collier Hospital (now known as NCH Healthcare System - North Naples) was opened with 50 beds at its current location on Immokalee Road in North Naples. The healthcare system as well as the local population continued to grow during this decade. In February 2007, the system expanded once again with the opening of the $64 million Jay & Patty Baker Patient Care Tower at the North Naples hospital.

The Brookdale Center for Healthy Aging, located on the North Naples Hospital campus is an acute care unit for frail elderly that incorporates care specialized for this population. The multidisciplinary model of inpatient care is geared to avoid complications and return elderly patients to their level of baseline function prior to hospitalization through attention to individualized care, family involvement, lower staffing rations, care protocols, and the unit’s specialized physical design.
