![]() NIMBY Arrow In recent months, Harrigan has been attempting to win over the hearts and minds of residents, according to local reports, while also winning over zoning and planning board staff of the city of Oakland Park, where the 11-acre hospital has been sitting vacant for half a decade. Says one treatment CEO who has toured the facility: “The place is just massive. I found myself wishing I’d brought a box lunch ‘cause I was there all day practically. It’s a lot of risk to take on, no question.” Bought for $20M years ago by Holy Cross Hospital and immediately shut down by Holy Cross, the former acute care North Ridge Hospital would turn into a 300 bed capacity psychiatric and addictions facility under Palm Private Pay Clientele According to local reports, in agenda documents Palm Partners said its new facility will not accept any kind of Medicaid, walk-ins, Baker Act (court forced) or indigent type clientele. The cost for stays at the new North Ridge Palm Partners’ facility would be just shy of $25K for 30-days, with clientele consisting of the privately insured and cash-pay variety, local press reported agenda items as saying. Holy Cross has agreed to sell North Ridge to Palm Partners, but according to local reports the sale is conditional upon approval of Palm Partners plans. POST YOUR COMMENTS BELOW… start a debate!
