wrt dcdriver's point, I remember when advocating against the creation of a new HUH on Res. 13, that someone commented that many states and/or regions have only one Level 1 trauma center, but the residents in DC want one in every ward.

DC has 3 Level 1 Trauma Centers + the Pediatric Level 1 at Children's Hospital. The State of Maryland has 1 + a Pediatric + the Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore.

Too bad I didn't get around to it, but for the last couple weeks I had been thinking about writing an entry proposing the equivalent of an MHO -- metropolitan health organization like the metropolitan planning organization -- for metropolitan areas that cross state lines.

E.g., one of the reasons that PG's health system is f*ed up is because of the cross-jurisdictional and poverty issues that are also tied up with DC, and the issues with UMC and HUH. FWIW, I have made that point constantly for years, that PG-DC-MoCo health and wellness planning should be more closely coordinated and planned.
