Seriously. Brutal. Where are Virginia families supposed to go? I have only heard horror stories about Dominion so your other option is....the place that killed a kid? [/quote]

From the other thread, I get the idea that you go wherever there is a bed.  It doesn't have to be in your state.  So Va could go to Md.  Or Nova could go to Richmond or Va Beach.  It's certainly not convenient and it makes things very difficult if there are other children at home.  [/quote]

how can a hospital in another state coordinate outpatient care in Virginia or Maryland when the child is discharged? That is very disturbing. [/quote]

Outpatient care isn’t determined by state.   A Fairfax family would have the same issues with care coordination if they went to Baltimore or they went to Va Beach even though Va Beach is in the same state as Fairfax.  The nurse on the other thread commented this is an issue.  Facilities are familiar with the resources and providers in their general area.

If you have a local team in place already, the facility will work with them for a continued care plan.[/quote]
