Concern is building as Rockledge Hospital prepares to close next month. With its emergency room shutting down April 7 and the hospital closing April 22, emergency response times are expected to increase by up to 20 minutes. Some now warn the remaining hospitals may struggle to handle the influx of patients. Efforts to delay the closure, including petitions and a push from lawmakers, continue, but Orlando Health has yet to reconsider. Some people now say the closure could put lives at risk due to limited hospital capacity.
