Charlotte County Health Complex and Emergency Shelter
 
Requester: Charlotte County Board of Coun Organization: Charlotte County Government
 
Project Title: Charlotte County Health Complex and Emergency Shelter Date Submitted 1/11/2006 11:13:57 PM
 
Sponsors: Bennett
 
Statewide Interest:
This facility will house the Florida Department of Health promary clinical and operational facilities. These services have been severly hampered by the effects of the 2004 Hurricane Season, destroying virtually all of the previous structures used by the Department of Health. Services are being provided in portable/temporary structures, woefully inadequate. Many critical services are suspended until the additional space can be provided. These services and the expansion of an actual facility in the Port Charlotte are are vitally important to this community and therefore to the public health of the state.
