FORT WALTON BEACH — After years in the making, the Fort Walton Beach Medical Center expects to receive soon the final designation needed to become a Level II trauma center.
The American College of Surgeons announced to hospital employees Wednesday that it has verified the medical center's trauma services as a Level II facility. The final designation from the state Health Department is expected by the end of the month, hospital officials said.
U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fort Walton Beach, played an integral role in helping the hospital expand its care to trauma patients."
