Another AMAZING trauma hospital closer by is Ocala Regional hospital Trauma Center in Ocala. My husband was driven there by Sumter Co. Ambulance in August due to a fall at home causing a massive subarachnoid hemmorage (TBI). The doctors at Ocala were trained at Shands. They certainly saved his life and then provided OUTSTANDING care while he was in their ICU for four weeks. For the past five weeks he has been in Health Rehab Hospital in Ocala, another outstanding facility. I certainly would never have thought that this WORLD CLASS medical care was available in Ocala. The PT, OT, and speech therapy post TBI stroke or other injury here is aggressive and rehabilitating.
