The two hospitals filed motions with the Fourth District Court of Appeal, renewing their six-year battle to bar Bethesda from building the new hospital.

Bethesda claims that the West Boynton hospital would offer those living in the area quicker access to emergency care, according to the report. The JFK and Delray medical centers claim that the demands of a new facility would lead to rising costs and shortages of doctors and nurses.
