Palm Harbor, FL (PRWEB) December 22, 2016 -- Florida Hospital North Pinellas is inviting the community to get a first look at the new Palm Harbor Emergency Room. The new full service ER, located at 34106 US Highway 19 North, will offer residents easier access to the same level of critical care found at the hospital emergency room.
The 24-bed Palm Harbor ER will be open 24- hours a day, seven-days-a-week.
