Mobile Stroke Unit Brings Hope to Rural Florida | Panama City Beach News

Ascension Sacred Heart in Florida just landed a $2.4 million boost to launch its life-saving mobile stroke unit, targeting rural communities where stroke rates are higher and doctors are scarce. With another $450K grant for equipment and expanding their residency program, the hospital aims to deliver rapid, expert care—even via telehealth en route to the hospital—where every minute counts. The unit will also bring X-rays and ultrasounds to underserved areas, with operations slated for summer 2027 across Gulf, Franklin, Walton, Holmes, and Washington Counties.
