No surprise there. There are only 3 2 hospitals in all of Berkshire county. When it takes 30 minutes for an ambulance to get to you and then 45 minutes for it to get to the nearest hospital, more people are going to die from medical emergencies.

Oh yeah, there's just an emergency room there, the hospital closed almost ten years ago. And for anything serious I think you'd just get sent to Pittsfield anyway.

Dang I didn’t know they’d closed down. I’ve never been (always go to BMC) and I wouldn’t have known it existed except my brother was born there.
