Local Modern Hospital, Ambulance Service, Dental Offices, Medical Laboratories
Each county has its' own Hospital and satellite clinics. While neither
county is set up for major trauma (Level one or two) the personnel are
there - and the equipment is the same. In a pinch (or a major
catastrophe) the doctors, nurses and EMT personnel would rapidly come up
to speed and make do. Both county hospitals have integral medical
laboratories. Both counties have their own EMS service and dental
clinics.
