Excellent news! I’ve never been a fan of West Florida Hospital and since I live in Cantonment, it was the closest hospital in the vent of an emergency!
@Fire Dawg rumor has it West Florida ran out of money to finish theirs.
The staff that was hired for Sacred’s Freestanding has tons of experience in all departments to serve our community. Yes, I know some of the staff there. May God bless them and guide them in their care.
Well I knew they would not let West Fla Hospital Free standing ER be the only one with a bright ideal and the leader of having this convenient medical treatment
I hope That is one of those Two minute CT machines like @ the main ER it’s awesome. Where kids are involved it makes it so nice and I didn’t mind it myself.
I live in Gonzalez between Ensley and Cantonment. It is so awesome to have something closer than clear across town. Surely this is a Godsend.
