SMH expands emergency and urgent care services

Sarasota Memorial Hospital has expanded its emergency medicine expansion, which includes 26 new treatment rooms. The hospital has hired more emergency medicine physicians, and will soon announce a new 30-minute guarantee patients will not wait longer than 30 minutes to receive care. SMH is also planning to open a new walk-in clinic in January at 2415 University Parkway. The clinic, staffed by the SMH emergency care doctors, is for people who need immediate or urgent, but not necessarily emergency care think flu, ear infections, cuts.
