Community Announcement – Services Status
9/26/2022
As Hurricane Ian moves toward our area, ShorePoint Health Port Charlotte and Punta Gorda continue to work closely with the Charlotte County Emergency Management Office, County Commissioners and other community leaders and are prepared to follow their guidance, whether it’s to evacuate or shelter in place. Patient safety will continue to be our first priority.
At this time, our hospital system is consolidating clinical operations at ShorePoint Health Port Charlotte.
ShorePoint Health Punta Gorda will be evacuated and closed the evening of Tuesday, September 27 and reopened as the weather and campus safety permits. ShorePoint Health Punta Gorda’s inpatients will be discharged or transferred to ShorePoint Health Port Charlotte and other facilities. Patients with scheduled appointments for services will be called using the phone number(s) we have on record.
The ShorePoint Health Port Charlotte emergency department remains open and is prepared – as always – for medical emergencies.
Continue to check back here for hospital updates. We will post news throughout the storm about any significant developments.
