[quote=Anonymous]It will need a helipad for medivac, so that will limit in DC where it can be located as there are flight restrictions. It also needs the availability of ambulances with shock trauma ped cases to get there quickly, so it needs to be located close to a highway. As a child my parents drove from 3 hours away to take me here (before it used to be located on 14th street) several times a year for 10+ years. There are specialists there that deal with very rare and serious conditions that you cannot find anywhere else or not within a reasonable distance. Now there is KKI in Baltimore, but it is much smaller. Otherwise you have to go to Wilmington, DE or the Hospital for Special Surgery in NY. The parking lot is crazy but it was built so long ago when cars were smaller. It's worth it though to see the drs there. [/quote]
