Fort Lauderdale – county seat of Broward County Florida – is served by Broward General Medical Center and Imperial Point Medical Center, which are operated by Broward Health, the third largest hospital consortium in the United States. Broward General is a 716-bed acute care facility and Level I trauma center.

Ft. Lauderdale is also home to the Chris Evert Childrens Hospital and Heart Center of Excellence. It serves as a major training facility for medical students from the Nova Southeastern University College of Osteopathic Medicine, along with nursing and paramedic programs from throughout the area. Imperial Point Medical Center is a 204-bed hospital with a hyperbaric medicine program. Holy Cross Hospital, a 571-bed medical facility operated by the Sisters of Mercy, was named by HealthGrades as one of the 50 best hospitals in the country in 2007.

In addition to the major medical facilities, Broward County is home to the offices and practices of hundreds of independent doctors and dentists, physician groups and dental centers, all of which are medical waste generators and subject to the myriad rules and regulations regarding the disposal of that waste.
