Lakeland Regional Health recently announced the completion of its first freestanding emergency department, at 6150 South Florida Ave. in Lakeland.

This 24,000-square-foot location provides the same care as the emergency department attached to the hospital, offering emergency radiology services including CT scans, X-rays, ultrasounds and full on-site lab services 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
