“Our leadership received a letter from the County last month expressing concerns related to intra-facility transports,” Taylor said in an email. “Since that time, we have spent many hours in productive conversations with the Collier County administrators and remain hopeful that a positive resolution is imminent.”

So how many more people will die while these "productive conversations" go on! Depending on the type of stroke, Mr. Anderson suffered (ischemic or hemorrhagic) he could have been a candidate for a clot busting agent that could have saved his life. Time is of the utmost importance, however. There is a 2-3hr window from the onset of symtoms for this drug to be administered for an ischemic stroke. I can't help but wonder why the doctor didn't do anything to get Mr. Anderson to the hospital ASAP?? And to you Mr. Rowe; you did ALL you could to help save your dear friend. You are the epitome of a true friend. My heart goes out to you and the Anderson family.
