[quote=Anonymous]Emergency healthcare poster here. OP you want to be not just near a hospital. The goal for the retirement years is a cath lab and a certified stroke center within 20 minutes in all weather. Any hospital can stabilize a broken wrist, and something like oncology can easily be a planned, regularly scheduled drive. But it’s those level I stroke and cardiac response facilities that make me difference between many more quality years vs. a handful debilitated years in rehab+nursing home then the end. Side note: don’t count on mediVac. Especially in snowy (NH) and snowy mountainous (WV, NM) climates. They won’t risk the flight staff’s life for a stroke response (but might for a catastrophic pediatric trauma) [/quote]
