Kim Saenz, director of the Hunt Regional Emergency Medical Center in Commerce, discusses an article describing the trend toward rural hospitals closing in favor of emergency centers.  That's the recommendation of the Medicare Payment Advisory Committee, and of course, that is exactly what has happened in Commerce.  Kim also reports on the progress being made on construction of a similar emergency medical center in Quinlan.
