A MESSAGE FROM THE VICE PRESIDENT OF EMERGENCY SERVICES

Flagler Hospital’s Emergency Care Center is one of St. Johns County’s most vital resources.  As medical director of our facility, I know that the quality and timeliness of care our patients receive can sometimes mean the difference between life and death - and I take that responsibility very seriously.

As we strive to achieve the best in patient satisfaction through decreased wait times, improved communications, streamlined processes and many other initiatives, I want you to know that our number one priority will always be to achieve the best possible clinical outcomes for our patients.

I am proud to be a part of the Flagler Hospital team and am excited about the progress we continue to make in our ongoing effort to bring our community the best possible emergency care experience.
