Emergency Services

When it comes to your health and safety, Hawthorne is head and shoulders above other 55+ communities.

Looking to the future and desiring to make our community one of the safest in Central Florida, in 1973 we established the Hawthorne Emergency Services Department. Through the years, the department has grown and modernized along with technological advances in the health care field.
