Florida medical center renovated to increase security

The psychiatric treatment center is being completely redone. New ceilings, walls and safety features, such as alarms, are being installed


Florida's Fort Walton Beach Medical Center is undergoing a $6 million renovation to increase security, according to an article on the WEAR-TV website.

The medical center installed a new MRI and nuclear medicine camera, but the majority of the renovations focused on new security features and improving the overall look of the hospital, most of which hasn't been renovated in more than twenty years.     

The psychiatric treatment center is being completely redone, the article said. New ceilings, walls and safety features, such as alarms, are being installed. 

Security cameras are being placed throughout the building and in the parking lot, and a lock-down system has been added, according to the article.
