A spokesperson for the health system’s east Florida region told the Ormond Beach Observer 18 months is the soonest the hospital can reopen because of damage to the interior and exterior of the building. She also said the hospital closed its transitional care unit “because there is no short-term fix for the building,” the report states.
The spokesperson said current patients in the hospital’s TCU will continue to receive care at Daytona Beach-based Florida Hospital Memorial Medical Center. However, no new patients will be admitted.
