Ocala Regional Medical Center is home to the new Comprehensive Stroke Center. My husband was transferred there in 2019 and they saved his life. I had no choice where he was transported. At that time, Sumter Co ambulance service was still operating and their protocol for patients exhibiting symptoms of stroke were transported directly to ORMC. I do not understand why more people are not aware of this center. I have posted many times of the quality of care provided. Hope this answers your question.
