This is a retirement community. Most emergency and other healthcare is used in the last few years of life. Some say why prolong with expensive healthcare people of late retirement age. Adequate healthcare goes way beyond this issue. It's about pain, suffering, real and normal fear and expectations of adequate and compassionate care. In THIS community with such a high number of elderly, we should be screaming for the best emergency healthcare possible. Perhaps we need sponsors, volunteers and fundraising to boost it but most of all we need talented leadership from the top down. We need to be heard.
