New emergency healthcare center in Volusia County opens
DeLand, FL — HCA Florida Lake Monroe Hospital has opened a new freestanding emergency room in DeLand as part of HCA Florida Healthcare’s continued expansion across the state. HCA Florida West Volusia Emergency, a planned 11,300-square-foot facility in west Volusia County, now provides a full range of medical services for children and adults.
