2020 Fishermen's Community Hospital Mardi Gras Masquerade Ball
Fishermen’s Community Hospital was founded by dedicated community members who understood the need for a hospital as a cornerstone of any thriving community. Hospitals provide long-standing residents the ability to remain in the community for their healthcare needs and drive prosperity by attracting new residents, businesses and visitors. Fishermen’s served that purpose for decades – and Hurricane Irma changed that.
Baptist Health plans to construct a new critical access hospital on the existing Fishermen’s site that will meet the needs of the community well into the future. The cost of an entirely new, replacement hospital facility is estimated to be $40 million. It will include: a 24/7 Emergency Room, inpatient and intensive care unit beds, outpatient observation beds, inpatient and outpatient surgery, laboratory services, pharmacy and diagnostic imaging (including CT Scan, digital X-ray, mammography and ultrasound). The new Fishermen’s Community Hospital will also maintain a heliport onsite for patient transfers.
The beneficiary of this year’s Fishermen’s Community Hospital Mardi Gras Masquerade Ball is the Fishermen’s Community Hospital Capital Campaign. It’s “Our Community, Your Hospital.” You can make a difference. And we thank you.
