When I got to a real hospital in Gainesville the triage person took one look at me, put me in a room where a team of Doctors immediately evaluated me, and admitted me to critical care within minutes. If my wife didn’t drive about 1,360 non-stop miles south to pick me up and drag me to Gainesville, I would be dead now thanks to the Village’s Hospital. So yes, I’m not on board with first response time mattering when the patient is going to get dumped at the Villages Hospital.

You’re comparing a level 1 trauma center to a glorified urgent care. lol.
