Hurricane Information

When our area is under threat of a hurricane, BayCare's highest priority is the health and safety of our patients, team members and physicians.

In order to ensure our ability to focus on patient care, we are unable to provide a safe haven to the general public during a storm. We encourage everyone in the community to place ultimate importance on their health and safety and follow the instructions of your local emergency management authorities.
