Also CFH is adding beds to the Leesburg ED to expand it from 42 to 67 beds.

And CFH now has property in Brownwood that they will be building an ER on.

I got all this info by just sending an short email with a question about the change in wait times on the web site to info@CentFLHealth.org (listed in Contacts on the web page). Pretty quick response from the CFH president I think....
At least it shows they are aware of the issue and have some concern.
I think a better time to track is the time from arrival until being seen by a physician, and secondarily, the time from being first seen to either admission or discharge.
