[edit] Format proposal

Since most towns have just one hospital, would it make more sense to switch to a listing by county? Aboutmovies 22:59, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

I see that some states do it that way, like List of hospitals in California. There is an impressively dense list in List of hospitals in Massachusetts—which is done by city. Texas also does it that way, but with a regional structure over the cities. I don't particularly care for counties. What about this?:
city county hospital
Albany Linn County Samaritan Albany General Hospital
Ashland (whatever county) Ashland Community Hospital
Astoria (whatever county) Columbia Memorial Hospital
Baker City (whatever county) St. Elizabeth Health Services
Bandon (whatever county) Southern Coos Hospital and Health Center
Bend (whatever county) St. Charles Medical Center - Bend
Burns (whatever county) Harney District Hospital
Enterprise (whatever county) Wallowa Memorial Hospital
Eugene (whatever county) Sacred Heart Medical Center
Eugene (whatever county) Serenity Lane
etc. etc. etc.
This might be a good place to eventually add the attributes of the hospitals: number of beds, level 1 trauma, etc. —EncMstr 00:05, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
The table works good. The by city thing just didn't make sense as a structure and made for a really long TOC. Aboutmovies 00:54, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
