[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Link? Why do they want to move? What is wrong with their current location?

Selfishly I would prefer they stay where they are because we live on the east side and it's reassuring to me to know they are not too hard to get to. When we have had to go to the emergency room for an adult, it sucks from where we live, and that would be so much worse with a kid in a medical emergency.

But just for access to specialists, I'm more neutral. The current location is convenient, but I've gone much further for specialists appointments so that's not as big of a deal. The main issue is the ER and being in a central location accessible from many parts of town.[/quote]

For people who don't use it as a general hospital, its painful to get to, especially since so many of Children's patients have to see specialists several times a month or year AT least. Its so stressful just getting there.[/quote]

It is literally in the dead center of the entire Metropolitan area. What are you talking about?  There could be no more fair a location for all potential patients.[/quote]

Have you ever driven there from Falls Church?[/quote]

If convenience to DC places is a priority, then Falls Church is the wrong choice.[/quote]

I live in Arlington and told my doc I would rather switch than go to Medstar on Irving St [/quote]
