Mount Dora-area residents have new urgent hospital care option
MOUNT DORA — HCA Florida Lake Monroe Hospital has opened a new stand-alone emergency care facility as part of HCA Florida Healthcare’s expansion across the state.
Think of it as an ER minus the big hospital building attached to it.
HCA Florida Mount Dora Emergency features about 11,000 square feet of rooms and equipment and is located at 16831 U.S. 441, Eustis.
The facility, HCA Florida's press spokesperson says, provides a full range of medical services for children and adults.
The ER will be staffed with board-certified emergency medicine physicians and nurses for 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, an HCA Florida press release said.
Physicians and nurses will treat a range of conditions including infections, chest pain and broken bones.
“As the Lake County community expands, the need for 24/7 emergency care close to where people live and work is paramount,” said Trey Abshier, CEO of HCA Florida Lake Monroe Hospital. “We are excited to establish a new health care location for all in need of emergency medical care.”
The facility will include 11 private treatment rooms, CT capabilities, digital ultrasound, digital diagnostic and portable X-rays, an on-site laboratory and telemedicine technology with a specific focus on stroke care and behavioral health.
