Bed Need Ruling Delayed By HRS
With an appeal pending, the state Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services has postponed for two weeks a decision on Humana Hospital Fort Walton Beach's request for 86 additional medical/surgical beds. The wait comes as Destin groups seek hospital expansion, facing a Nov. 28 hearing to determine whether Destin will gain a new facility, while a separate plan for a 152-bed hospital from another group triggers a Nov. 10 public hearing at the Destin Community Center.
