Real regional healthcare access

Madison sits a short drive from Morristown Medical Center (Atlantic Health System), one of Morris County's substantial regional hospital anchors, documented separately in this dataset's morristown-nj.js -- giving Madison residents real, practical proximity to a substantial hospital system without one necessarily sitting inside Madison's own borough limits.
