Re: New major hospital
We (Seattle-Tacoma) only have one Level 1 Trauma center as well, Harbourview Medical Center in Seattle; which serves not only WA state but also Alaska and I think Oregon, Montana, and Idaho. That's one Level 1 Trauma center for the entire Pacific Northwest and Northern Rockies. if I'm correct about Oregon. Vancouver has Level 1 Trauma centers but that's Canada not the US.
They fly patients from all over the Pac NW to Harbourview. I also believe Harbourview works as a teaching hospital alongside the UW Medical Center. It's a bit complicated in that regard as to who's who but the point is we have one Level 1 Trauma Center for about 12 million people or so with a MUCH wider geographic area (perhaps the biggest in the USA) than OU Medical Level 1 in OKC.
