"Florence offers a wide range of medical services for both locals and visitors. The city is home to a number of hospitals, clinics, and medical centers that provide a variety of treatments and services, including general medicine, emergency care, and specialized treatments. Florence also has a number of pharmacies and health stores that offer a range of over-the-counter medications and health products.
