Two area hospitals are expanding and helping to create Florida medical jobs.
Halifax Health Medical Center in Daytona Beach and Florida Hospital’s Memorial Medical center in Ormond Beach are already two of the area’s biggest employers, but both are planning expansions that will create several new jobs, according to an article by WFTV. This is another sign that the healthcare industry is continuing to thrive in many places despite the current economic recession.
Florida Hospital’s Memorial Medical center includes 12 stories, 277 beds and all-private rooms on a 135-acre spot. The center, which has been in the making for nine years, will open in July. The new facility will help to create 100 new jobs. The hospital expects to see rapid growth in its emergency department and surgical suites.
