Thanks, Frank, for taking the time to answer my question. From your explanation, there are many variables involved. It sounds like we should educate ourselves on which facilities are best able to handle heart attack or stroke symptoms and how far away they are.

My husband has used Munroe twice for planned surgery, both of which involved overnight stays. We were really impressed with the level of care there. Munroe is farthest from us in distance but he wanted to go there based on his first experience.

However, having to enter any hospital through the ER may be disappointing, depending on how busy they are and how well staffed.

Congratulations on finally getting to be a year-round resident.
