Despite initial plans to remain open, Health First is now evacuating patients from Cape Canaveral Hospital in Cocoa Beach ahead of Hurricane Milton, due to concerns about potential storm surge in the low-lying area. Patients are being relocated to other local hospitals, including Holmes Regional Medical Center and Viera Hospital. Cape Canaveral Hospital is closed, including its emergency department. Patients needing emergency medical services are advised to go to other facilities or call 911.
