With no other healthcare facility within 80 miles, an expedited replacement was needed to serve the region’s oil and gas and commercial fishing industry residents. Aided by a campaign started by former presidents George H. W. Bush and Bill Clinton, federal disaster funds were secured to build a facility using modular construction that would meet FEMA’s 130 mph wind and tidal surge requirements.
