SEMINOLE COUNTY, Fla. — Seminole County is thinking about setting up its own medical examiner facility, driven by population growth and cost-sharing considerations.
At present, the county uses a shared facility with five neighboring counties through an interlocal agreement, situated in Leesburg, which is inconvenient for Seminole County. The Board of County Commissioners has appointed a liaison to the joint Medical Examiner Committee, a role they have held for the past two years.
Establishing a medical examiner facility in Seminole County would provide a much-needed public safety service to its citizens. Planning and preliminary design phases are underway.
While a final timeline and exact price tag are still being evaluated, local officials have highlighted it as a key funding priority.
