Fort Lauderdale (Broward County) has about 183,000 residents. The nearest Peace & Heart Wellness exam room is the Hollywood office, about 20 minutes from Las Olas, Port Everglades, and the downtown medical district.

Fort Lauderdale sits in Broward County. County-level resources (crisis lines, hospital ERs, IOP programs) are discussed during Massage Therapy when a higher level of care is safer than outpatient titration.
