So if everyone is correct about Leesburg being that much better I'd like to find out why. I will certainly ask this question when I meet with them next month.

I guess everyone's experiences are different, but I will tell you mine. I wrote about this in a similar thread, but don't know what happened to that thread.
My husband had a heart attack in 2009. Had we listed Leesburg as the only place we would go, his outcome may have been not so good or not at all. His attack occurred around 1:30 a.m. and he was in the Cardiac ICU by 4:30 with another stent. He was transported by ambulance a little after 2 and the cath team, along with a cardiologist, had been notified by the time we left here. ER was waiting for him when we got there; he was assessed, prepped, and in the cath lab around 3:00. It was a 10-minute ride to TVH vs 35-45 to Leesburg.
We have only been there for true emergencies, but everything went like clockwork. Sometimes we were there for several hours, but those hours involved x-rays, lab work, etc. which all take lots of time.
