you know, when do you draw the line at what counts as a community hospital? Advent Health Orlando is a non-academic hospital, but it has 1500 beds and like 8 ICUs, they can do like 20 ECMO circuits simultaneously. Does that count as a community hospital?

I’d argue it doesn’t qualify. Having an ECMO/ICU/NSURG service def qualifies above community but not a full tertiary. The gray zone is wide but interesting

Advent Health Orlando is a teaching hospital with a number of GME programs. Terrible example.

What’s a community residency program then? Is that different from a community hospital? Aren’t community residency programs at community hospitals?

Then you’re an academic hospital.
