Hurricane Helene caused damage to the ShorePoint Health Punta Gorda hospital and ER, causing it to remain closed for repairs. However, clinics and outpatient services on the Punta Gorda campus are open, but elevators are not working. "Our priority is keeping safe, quality healthcare available to the community and we will reopen our Punta Gorda campus as soon as possible," said ShorePoint Health CEO Andy Romine.
