I know, not that it makes any difference. I also know that it was built where Harold Schwartz said it would be built during his lifetime. I also recall when it opened with 60 beds it was already too small and I recall when the hospital needed a hospital taxing authority it was proposed in the Fl Legislature. This proposal despite predictions that hospital would not expand if the referendum was not passed, was voted down by the voters after hearing that part of the money it would raise would go to a developer foundation. Somehow money was raised and what is there after at least 2 expansions is still not capable of meeting today's demands with most or all of the seasonal visitors having left. Concerned if it can't meet today's demands where will ambulances take you during the next peak season when they go on divert. For sure it won't be "golf cart accessible".
