Halfmoon Officials Confirm Hospital Plans

Hmm, transport times for my ambulance corps (I would link the website, but I am kinda ashamed that it hasn't been updated in over 5 years… Oh hell, here it is) may be getting shorter some time in the future:
Halfmoon Officials Confirm Hospital Plans - "Halfmoon officials have confirmed they are in talks with an area health care provider to open a hospital on Route 146, east of Route 9. The new hospital would be a 120 bed facility with a 24-hour emergency room."
Wow, an emergency room that's open 24 hours a day. Isn't that kind of the definition of an ED? "Emergency" facilities that are open 9-5 are called "Urgent Care Clinics," and we definitely already have enough of those in the district. I welcome a place to drop off emergency patients in the district, rather than another Urgent Care that will call at closing time to transport a non-emergency patient that could just as safely travel by private vehicle to the real ED.
