Palmetto General Hospital is hosting a free community event to celebrate the grand opening of the Clinical Decision Unit, Sept. 16, 1 to 5 p.m.
Family-fun activities will include art exhibits, a farmer’s market health corner, and food trucks. Free Health Screenings will also be offered. The Hospital team will also host a kiddie corner where they will offer car seat and bike helmet checks, a teddy bear clinic, and kids teaching kids healthy snack presentation.
The CDU is an observation area that provides ongoing patient care, short-term treatment, diagnostic testing and assessment. Observation services are commonly ordered for patients who enter the Emergency Department and who require more time for the physician to determine if they need additional inpatient treatment or may be safely discharged.
Palmetto General Hospital is located at 7100 West 20th Avenue, in Hialeah, Fla.
