I've read everything I can find about it and watched the video. I wrote about the Holy Cross Emergency Center on my blog (I just started it a month ago after taking a 90- year old parent for an 8-hour emergency department visit and then promising afterward that we will not do it to her again -- ever). My blog is more for therapy so no one reads it but my husband and me. But the writing is helping us keep a steady course as we continue as partners with our three wonderful parents. Are other hospitals interested in exploring new emergency facilities for older adults? What possibilities are there for getting a hospital interested? Have you posted any ideas from your presentations? I don't see much about this on your blog. I'd love to try and get a community group in Arlington together to see if we might interest Virginia Hospital Center. Has anyone from VHC been in touch with you? Great job!!! Like your blog. My best, Marti Weston Hi Bill,
