“As the Lake County community expands, the need for 24/7 emergency care close to where people live and work is paramount,” HCA Florida Lake Monroe CEO Trey Abshier said in a statement. “We are excited to establish a new health care location for all in need of emergency medical care.”
HCA has more than 50 hospitals in Florida. In June, the system opened a freestanding ER in Haines City and has plans to open several more emergency facilities across the state.
HCA has emergency room facilities planned in areas including Orlando, Englewood, St. Cloud, Citrus Ridge and Maitland.
