Big things are coming to the former Golson campus!

Chipola Therapy, currently in a rented space, will soon be relocated to the former Golson property as plans are underway for a new, state-of-the-art Therapy Center. Groundbreaking is expected in May, bringing physical, occupational, speech, and aquatic therapy services closer to the rest of our healthcare campus once completed.

Next up, an ambulatory surgery center, medical offices and an imaging center, all designed to better serve our community!

Stay tuned, Jackson Hospital is growing for YOU!

Colorectal cancer often develops silently, without symptoms in its early stages. That’s why routine screening is so important. If you are 45 or older or have a family history of colorectal cancer, talk with your healthcare provider about getting screened.

A colonoscopy can detect and remove precancerous polyps before they turn into cancer. Early detection dramatically increases survival rates.

Don’t wait for symptoms. Prevent it before it starts.

Schedule your colonoscopy today with one of our General Surgeons:
• Dr. Chai Arunakul – 850.482.0017
• Dr. Rachael Barnes – 850.482.0017
• Dr. Richard Brunner – 850.526.6700
