Community Feedback Shaped This Project
Data and insights from extensive community dialogue about the proposed emergency room.
We didn't just ask for opinions—we listened and adapted. Here's what the data shows about our community-responsive approach.

Keeping our Neighborhood Safe
"24/7 security and lighting creates a safe, monitored facility – unlike an abandoned bowling alley."
Expert Confirmation:
The Broward Sheriff's Homeless Outreach Office effectively addressed questions about safety and homelessness at Commissioner Audrey Fesik's 'District 1 Dialogues' meeting.
His thoughtful explanation that the freestanding emergency department (FSED) won't be a destination for Baker Act patients or homeless individuals was very well received and helped reassure the audience about the facility's role in our community.
62% of residents say FSEDs increase neighborhood security
