“We are extremely proud to bring our award-winning emergency care closer to our patients in South Lakeland,” said Danielle Drummond, President and CEO of Lakeland Regional Health. “As part of our strategic plan, Lakeland Regional Health continues to expand access to comprehensive, world-class care.

The Lakeland Regional Health Medical Center and vast network of specialists are just minutes from the Freestanding Emergency Department, and if patients need to be admitted to the hospital, they will be transported down the road to the Lakeland Regional Health Medical Center at no cost to the patient.
“This new, state-of-the-art facility will bring the care you know and trust to South Lakeland. The concerns you would go to the main Emergency Department for such as abdominal pain, chest pain, breathing issues, fevers, neurologic symptoms, falls, broken bones, pediatric complaints, and more can be taken care of by the same exceptional group of physicians and nursing staff at this new freestanding location,” said Dr. Fred Blind, Lakeland Regional Health Emergency Department Medical Director.
