Poinciana gets OK for 60-bed hospital

Capping a nearly three-year battle, residents in this unincorporated community straddling the Osceola-Polk border learned Thursday they will finally get their hospital.

[GOParty of Apathy]

This is welcomed news to the residents of Poinciana. No one should have to take the risk of dying while being transported almost twenty miles away to reach a hospital for medical care. Shame on St. Cloud officials for attempting to block this project.

"Good things happened this year — Obama is in the White House and we're getting the hospital," Brown, 66, said. "All we need now is Obama's universal-health-care bill to pass [so we can] go to the hospital." -----

Everything is free, noone has to work for anything, uncle Bama is going to take care of us all. MY EYE!!

Seeing how Poinciana has the highest foreclosure rate in the county, I bet "Osceola Regional officials" are falling all over themselves to start breaking ground on construction. This is one of those moments when someone gets what they want, but doesn't have a clue on how it's going to happen. "We won, now someone come and build us something." Anyone want to bet on which gets built first, Commuter Rail or Poinciana Hospital?
And for GOParty of Apathy - Poinciana has one of the biggest fire stations in the county. FYI "Advanced Life Support"(ALS) and the "Golden Hour" in this area is well supported by dedicated County Emergency Medical Services.

Poinciana has the biggest foreclouseure rate in the county? True

Is Poinciana the #1 market to buy newer homes in the county? True

Many young couples are taking advantage of low prices homes? True

There's more kids and family oriented activities in Poinciana? True

Do Poinciana need a hospital for all families, kids and our elderlys? True

Are we going to get the well deserve hospital that more than 60k residents have been hoping for? True

Are non-poinciana residents wasting their time posting here when they have no idea how wonderful is living in this growing community? 100% true

And FYI the housing crisis is not due to people trying to get out of here, the fact is that when the massive construction of houses were taking place, people wanted to pay anything as long as they get a piece of this paradise, they were buying houses for $215k + and now with the economic crisis they just couldn't afford them. Of course the foreclousure crisis is not as noticeable in other places were most are older homes that were bought for much less YEARS back or pass generation to generations. But go to any new project in Orlando, Kissimmee or elsewhere you will see that there's huge amoutn of houses in foreclousure, newer homes 2001 up. We have the biggest rate because most of our homes are new and here is were most new constructions took place.

Poinciana grew so fast because "speculator" were trying to flip houses trying to make a quick buck and got stuck with the property and now the tax payer's are stuck with the bill..True.
There is no real industry in Poinciana to support that many people. True
Poinicana is an area that is and will be supported by government subsidy's & medical care. True

Sorry Jeanne, but you must not ever leave Poinciana, to believe most of what you've written. I won't be holding my breath for Kiss. Hosp. to start construction, nor for you to validate the need for another hospital in this county. Here's an idea, instead of living off other county residents, why not incorporate, collect taxes, fund what ever the supposed City of Poinciana wants. I wonder how great you'd claim it to be then?

Are you for real? We live 20 minutes from a tourist area and industry is all around Osceola and Polk county. I moved fro PA just 6 months ago, and probably making more than you. There's plenty of job out there, and fyi all the young families in my street wake up at 7am to go out and WORK. There's no need for goverment aids here. Do a litlle more research because I came with facts (My dad is a Real Stete agent and advisor)... you came with opinions.

Live off other county residents? What? Did you ever sent me a check?

lol And btw I bought my house cash, so if I ever want to leave Poinciana, there's no string attached, I can even give it to you if I feel like.

If Poinciana do incorporates as its own city, then we'll see but for now we are part of Osceola and Polk and we have the same rights as any other residents from them.

Wow, I'm so happy for you to have the ability to live that American dream. Your parent must be proud of you. Good luck giving that house away. If in fact you paid cash for it six months ago, it should be worth lots of money in today's market. Your a Winner!

If it ever gets built be prepared to wait forever to see a doctor. The annointed one, I mean Pres. Obama, has not figured out how to flood the market with millions on new patients, add no new doctors, and still get these people treated.

I lived there.....I got the sense to move out....let them shoot and rob each other.....

[Anonymous]

Horrible place to live. I moved their from up north because I had family in the area. Let's just say I RAN as fast as I could. What is ,messing it up is homes being turned into duplexes. And now they have low cost apartments which isn't making things better. Stay away

[REDNECK]

They need a wall around that place so the scumbags can't get out, razorwire and armed cops at all the ways in and out of Poinciana, well hell just turn it in to a prison and don't let any ricans out unless they move back to N.Y.C only.

These racist fucktards are probably extremely confused individuals who have lots of inner personal conflicts going on. I wouldn't be surprised if they were closeted homosexuals. You guys are a fucking disgrace to regular white people. Grow some balls and learn how to accept people and give them an honest chance first at least. Don't blindly hate someone or an entire group of people that you have no met personally. Do you realize how fucking retarded you sound?

Wake up morons.

White people are dwindling, oh the irony. And I am white, but am embarrassed towards any person of any race who is irrationally judgmental.

These native white folk from Florida are a seriously gross breed. No class, and ugly as fuck. Most hispanic families I meet in Poinciana are friendly as heck and open to getting to know me. Unlike you fucktards who shun strangers away and act superior. Try to look at that scenario from a different perspective. Though I'm sure you probably didn't understand any of this message because you're a hick with poor reading comprehension.

Long story short, there are a bunch of dumb ass fucking white people in FL, And I give them the time of day first before judging them. I much prefer the browns.

[dan]

And don't make me have to remind you that the North won, and we're simply showing up to claim whats ours.
