This is a common reoccurrence, accident victims transported via ambulance to Chicago hospitals. The message is clear, the region doesn’t have hospitals with the top level trauma care that’s required to save lives. A second point comes to mind, even if a trauma center was located in the region, the main arterial roadways are jammed with commuter traffic, especially during summer road construction. Many local towns continue to grow in population, increasing travel times. Am, I the only one concerned with these two issues? Town and county elected officials, the time to work on solving the aforementioned problems is now, and not when my loved family member or your loved family member is in immediate need of life saving medical care, awaiting an air ambulance.
