I’m REALLY interested in the reasons for this, and very incredibly displeased that it was denied to begin with. The residents support it, the town’s government supports it, what were you THINKING Anonymous State Official??!!??
Tell me, State Official, have you ever had to look forward to a 30-45 minute drive with contractions 2 minutes apart? Or with a kidney stone? How about with a textbook kid + trampoline - permission = broken arm? Because I have. Each and every time we have a medical emergency, I go into it mentally calculating the time of day, traffic patterns, and possible detours if necessary.
What’s that? Call an ambulance for all those things? SURE! That’ll jack my time in transit up another 30-45 minutes minimum. (Incidentally, State Official - on the 30-45 minute drive with contractions 2 minutes apart? I delivered 20 minutes after arriving at the hospital. Had I waited on an ambulance, I would’ve given birth on the side of the highway.)
Novant, please PLEASE appeal this decision.

That sucks. I didn’t realize the hospital was that far away.
In theory, it isn’t. It’s when you factor in traffic, weather, and all the other stuff that goes with it that the time gets longer.
