After a little medical incident of the Aero-News team, ANN Editor-in-Chief Jim Campbell stopped by the medical facility for a quick tour at this year’s SUN ‘n FUN 2024.The lovely Margo Wesley, Chairman of Sun ‘n Fun Medical Hospitality, gave everyone a rundown of the human-maintenance facilities that keep the show going year after year.
With huge crowds descending upon lakeland every year, it’s not too surprising that the Aerospace Center for Excellence has created a fairly plush little medial facility, allowing staff on site to take care of a wider spectrum of in-field issues without having to send patients offsite for basic interventions.
For most issues attendees will face, it’s plenty enough to get them sorted and let them enjoy the rest of the show. If the Sun ‘n Fun doctors and specialists can’t take care of it in-house, then the chain is activated to sweep them away to larger facilities nearby. It’s a good review to have for those who make their way to Lakeland year after year - like the ANN crew, you never quite know when you’re going to have a little medical emergency.
