It's a tiny little town that has struggled to keep ANY Dr there, much less the hospital open, my entire life. The last time I was there, it was more nursing home than hospital. Anyone with a significant injury is immediately shipped to Tulsa or Ponca City. Nonetheless, I am glad they held the fort.
