Wesley Chapel To Get Its Own Hospital

Posted at 6:48 AM, Jun. 18, 2007

Wesley Chapel To Get Its Own Hospital
 
A year ago three hospitals tried to get approval for a hospital in Wesley Chapel. State health care officials turned them all down.
 
This year University Community Hospital (UCH) and Adventist Health System which runs Florida Hospital Zephyrhills paired up while BayCare Health System paired up with USF Health.
 
The state approved UCH and Adventist and turned down BayCare, which has 21 days to file a petition appealing the decision.
 
If UCH and Adventist make it through any legal challenges they will build an 80-bed hospital on 45 acres, across from Saddlebrook Resort on SR-54.
 
Presently, the closest hospitals for Wesley Chapel residents can be a 30 minute drive, or even longer during rush hour.
 
With the population growth in this area it is great to see that the state agreed that a hospital will be necessary for this area.
 
Within the next few years we should have a hospital to call our own.

So What Happened to Property Tax Relief?

Posted at 6:03 AM, May. 5, 2007

Governor Charlie Crist had set as one of his priorities, Property Tax Relief. We were promised by him and members of the legislature that we would see it soon. Some were even saying if they did not pass anything during this session then they wasted their time. Well guess what? The session is over with no agreement.

The legislature suspended negotiations until a special 10-day session to be held June 12 - 22. They state they want to get it right, and this session they say will result in a deal. Let us pray!
