FORT MYERS, Fla.- Sometimes when we’re not feeling well, especially at night or on the weekend when your doctor’s office is closed, going to a hospital emergency department seems like the only answer for relief.

Joining us is the HealthPark Emergency Department Medical Director with Lee Physician Group Dr. Richard Macchiaroli with what you need to know.
