Hospital imaging departments and outpatient rehab clinics across Bay County take in the allied caseload for the surrounding Panhandle. US-98 traces the coast east to west, crossing the Hathaway Bridge to Panama City Beach, while SR-77 and US-231 climb north through Lynn Haven and inland. Travelers often base in Lynn Haven or nearer the beach, with the airport to the northwest for trips out. After a stretch of shifts, the St. Andrews waterfront gives a quiet view of the bay. Care here reaches across a wide rural Panhandle, broadening the need for allied coverage.
