Medical Examiner X-ray and autopsy equipment replacement
Summary
The 20-year-old autopsy stations can no longer be serviced, and the decade-old X-ray machine is slow, labor-intensive and delivers higher radiation. A $4 million upgrade would let every case be X-rayed, improving accuracy, staff safety and disaster response. After tri-county reimbursements, St. Johns County's share would be about $170,000.

Impact analysis
A $4 million total request, but only about $170,000 out of St. Johns County's pocket thanks to reimbursements from Putnam and Flagler counties.
Families across St. Johns, Putnam and Flagler counties get faster, more accurate death investigations, and forensic staff avoid heavy lifting and radiation exposure.
