Escambia County reports daily the number of hospital beds and ventilators available. The county doesn’t report Intensive Care Unit (ICU) statistics.
But the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration does.
As of noon today:
| Adult ICU | Available | Available | |
| Census | ICU Beds | % | |
| Ascension | 32 | 8 | 20.00% |
| Baptist | 35 | 1 | 2.78% |
| West Florida | 33 | 3 | 8.33% |
| Select Speciality | 6 | 0 | 0.00% |
| Total | 106 | 12 | 10.17% |
Why does Escambia County hide this information from the public? Â The county has full-time staff with access to all this data. Â County administration says it stays “in daily contact with health officials at the Florida Department of Health and local hospitals.”
BTW: Total hospital bed availability for Escambia for today is 25%.
