Our son Michael is 47 years old, has Downs Syndrome, and lives at home. We have a great primary care doctor, but lately medical emergencies have made it necessary to go to the ER STAT. The doctors and staff at our community hospital emergency room are professional, helpful and reassuring. It is comforting to me as an aging mom and caregiver to know that our hospital ER is there when we need it. We don’t want it to close or to be compromised in any way. We intend to be an advocate for keeping our ER open!
