Ascension Sacred Heart Pensacola is a hospital that has recently played a role in the space industry by providing medical assistance to returning astronauts. In March 2025, it became the first civilian hospital in NASA's 60-year history to provide care for astronauts when SpaceX's Crew-8 needed medical evaluations after spending 235 days in space. The hospital is the region's only Level 1 Trauma Center and has undergone years of training with NASA to prepare for such events. NASA acknowledged Sacred Heart for their exceptional care of the astronauts.
