Health-care is changing ALL over the country. Mayo has bought up small hospitals in the upper midwest and now are pulling "some" services and consolidating them. It's a hardship in those communities that are losing services and now will have to travel many/many miles. The aging population there are particularily in a conundrum because of not driving distance or driving at all anymore. There's more to it then I'm telling but---it's just something we need to be aware of. We constantly NEED to self-advocate as well, which becomes harder as we age.
