October 2022 NEWS is HOT off the PRESS!

First and foremost, all of us at The News hope that all of you reading this came through Hurricane Ian healthy and safe. Our News team fared well, considering. A few trees and power lines down, loss of power, and the general inconveniences of temporarily losing modern conveniences. Our friends and colleagues to the south took a much harder hit. Our thoughts are with them. The News is encouraging anyone who is able to donate to your favorite relief organization. SCC was built on neighbors helping neighbors. We’re a GENEROUS community, which is something we see in EVERY issue of The News. The more we give, the better and faster those folks will be able to rebuild. And, if YOU are in need, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We will do our best to connect you to help.

Community Expo Showcases ER at Sun City Center

Community Expo Showcases ER at Sun City Center

Community Expo Showcases ER at Sun City Center

By Bob Sanchez

The ER at Sun City Center hosted a Community Expo to show off the brand-new facility to the public. The free-standing building is an extension of Manatee Memorial Hospital.

Attendees were treated to coffee and donuts as well as a tour of the facilities conducted by Amy Beaubien, Director of Imaging Services at Manatee Memorial Hospital. She noted that the building was constructed in Alabama in sections and assembled on its US-301 site “like Lego pieces.”

The Expo featured many of the services Manatee Memorial Hospital offers, including emergency care, cardiac care, stroke care, blood pressure checks, wound care, cancer awareness education, and weight loss. Participating organizations included Manatee Physicians Alliance, Manatee Diagnostic Centers, and Manatee Outpatient Rehab.

“This expo will help provide awareness of preventable health problems and encourage early detection and treatment of disease,” stated Tom McDougal, CEO of Manatee Memorial Hospital. “We are proud of our expansion in the Sun City Center area, and we look forward to meeting the needs of our new neighbors in the community. The Sun City Center Free Standing ER is ready for you!”
