I am a retired Insurance Executive with over 45 years experience in the health insurance area. I sat on the public hospital board for 10.5 years. It was very enlightening. This is the largest Public Hospital in the State of Florida. Sarasota Memorial Hospital has the lowest infection rate of any hospital in the Southeast. It specializes in heart, orthopedics, neurosurgery and it has the only neonate unit in a 5 county area. Because it is a public hospital people cannot be turned away. I am proud
