Cocoa Goes To Bat For Rockledge Hospital

The Cocoa City Council has passed a resolution urging Orlando Health to delay the closure of Rockledge Hospital, which as of now is still scheduled for April 22. The council is asking the health provider to provide a clear timeline for a new facility and ensure continued healthcare services in the area. The closure has sparked concern, with more than 1,800 petitioners having called for the decision to be reversed, highlighting what they say is the vital role the hospital plays in serving the local community’s healthcare needs.
