A
new emergency room in Destin affiliated with the Fort
Walton Beach Medical Center broke ground in Destin on
August 18.
Scheduled to be complete by February 2017, the full
service ER will be located at the corner of U.S. Highway 98 and
Tequesta Drive, next to the Emerald Lakes subdivision. Upon
completion, the new Destin ER facility will be open 24 hours a day,
seven days a week and offer eight emergency exam rooms, CT and
X-ray machines and an on-site laboratory.
Destin, Fort Walton Beach and Walton Area Chambers were
on hand, as well as State Representative Matt Gaetz, District 4
candidate Mel Ponder and hospital officials were on hand for the
groundbreaking.
