On April 12 a new thread was started which resulted in over 300 responses on the subject of the hospital in general and ER in particular. For the most part the thread had a very negative slant.

Last week there was an announcement relative to increasing the size of the hospital, emergency room, and a new urgent care facility. I don't think the decision was reached as a result of comments here. It takes time to put together a plan of that magnitude.

I am somewhat of a skeptic. I don't jump on band wagons. However, I am pleased with the decision. It can only benefit most of us.

It would be interesting to know if it allayed any of the concerns expressed in the original post.
