I believe that the expansion of TVRH will not handle the anticipated growth of the tri-county area and a new hospital in the Wildwood area of TV will be a reality in a few years. There will always be an increasing need for more Emergency Departments at all area hospitals, but I think there will start to be some special services at some but not all hospitals.
