Even when Healthmark was Walton County Hospital it never really made money. Whose backside are you trying to blow smoke up? If you will remember, when Walton Hospital closed it's doors the County forgave their bond debt (costing the taxpayers plenty) and allowed the "powers that be" to go in and remove all the medical equipment including the beds and move it to Healthmark without a penny going back into the County coiffures.
I seriously doubt Healthmark will ever be anything more than a band aid station unless they get rid of the "players" in that operation and employ quality health care professionals. Since the City of Defuniak doesn't appear to want growth in our area Waltonparent is right.

Waltonparent, you are correct about the use of the hospital in the short-term. And it may be years before it increases. But killing its potential for growth if the need arises makes no sense.

If they can make more money, create a better life for their families and more opportunities for their children somewhere else, why would they chose to move to DFS?
