Editorial verification note: Current address, state license, ownership, bed count, CEO, Emergency Department coverage, hospital services, billing contacts, payer list, financial-assistance policy, records hours, imaging address and patient-portal support were verified from current hospital or Florida state sources. Palmetto General does not publicly publish a dependable permanent rota for every physician, one universal specialist consultation fee, a current hospital-wide parking fee or a routine outpatient laboratory schedule, so those values have not been invented.
