Hospitals in KW

[ijmorlan]

Yes, the new hospital will be the only hospital with an emergency department.  That is why it is critical not to be put in the north end of Waterloo,  Increased drive time will cause more death due to cardiac events.

That is totally insane. Anybody who thinks it’s appropriate for a city the size of KW to have only a single emergency department has no business being involved in capacity planning, logistics, disaster preparedness, or really anything truly important.
