On WCOA this morning, Escambia County Commissioner Chairman Lumon May said the Baptist Hospital leaders are open to offering medical services at its old campus on E Street.
“We had a great conversation,” said the commissioner of his meeting with Baptist CEO Mark Faulkner and VP Jennifer Grove. “I think that they seem receptive. What we’ve asked is that we keep a life in those buildings”
Commissioner May asked that Baptist keep its cafeteria open and keep medical services available in the new entrance that Baptist opened in 2012 as part of a $24-million expansion. “We asked one that the restaurant remain open and we didn’t get a hard ‘no,’ so that was very positive.”
He later added, “Obviously the plan’s not going to get worked out in the next nine days, but it’s my strong opinion and position that we keep that campus open with life.”
