AUGUST 9, 2023 – HCA Florida, through HCA Florida Palms West Hospital, has opened a multispecialty clinic in Belle Glade. The expansion of services will bring the professional medical care to the Glades communities.
The newly-opened office has board-certified specialists in general surgery, heart and vascular care and gastroenterology who will see patients on a rotating basis in the shared clinic which features three exam rooms.
“No longer will people in the Glades, Hendry County and the surrounding communities, need to take a full day to come east to see the specialists they need. We are bringing these highly-skilled physicians right to them,” Palms West Hospital CEO Jason Kimbrell said. “The Glades communities have been historically underserved, and now, we are bringing world-class care to the Glades.”
To celebrate the opening, a ribbon cutting and reception was held which included Belle Glade Mayor Steve Wilson, Dr. Martin Harland, who has been practicing medicine in the Glades since the 1980s and Palm Beach County School and Palms West Hospital board member Marcia Andrews.
“I have an office out here and I’m going to be one of [the] patients,” Andrews said, “It’s about showing up and getting healthy for all of us.”
The office is located at 1200 Main Street, Belle Glade.
