@beyondflorida: What happens if you have a stroke in Levy County, Florida? Does the ambulance drive you 45 minutes away to Gainesville? Or 45 minutes away to Ocala? Many rural communities no longer have local hospitals - over 100 have closed in the past 5 years and 700 more are in danger of closing. The Big Beautiful Bill added $50 billion to assist, but some experts say it's not designed to keep hospitals from shutting down, but rather to pay for "healthcare alternatives" in rural areas. I visited the now-closed Williston General Hospital to discuss the issue. This particular hospital is now up for sale and reports say it's unlikely that this will resume operations as a medical facility. #ruralhospitals #ruralhealthcare #florida #ruralflorida

I wish we could get a hospital closer to Chiefland than Gainesville. Us rural people need fast access to emergency services just as much as city dwellers.

It just went up for auction and didn’t get bought, but Williston is getting more and more upgrades so I have faith that it will be resurrected!
