Family that works there. Some forwarded emails from doctors taking about it. Nothing official but I trust my source.

I would say that's correct. I work in Radiology software. Years ago one of our clients was Seattle Children's. And at the time they were THE Send-To Children's hospital for that same region he stated.

Wow that’s crazy but I’m sure that stuff isn’t cheap. I wish we would spend more money on healthcare.

There will not be a new major hospital. Most hospitals are running on empty when it comes to cash on hand. Out of all the big boys - Mercy is the most financially stable and as of Jan had the most cash on hand to run the longest. What I mean by that is if none of the hospitals had any income coming in then all but Mercy would run out in 1-3 months with Mercy at about 7 months. The pandemic and paying traveling staff crazy high amounts have hurt everyone.
