A real, current, regionally significant hospital

Garrison Memorial Hospital (CHI St. Alexius Health) is a real, current 22-bed critical-access hospital with an attached 26-bed skilled nursing facility and a 24-hour, Level 5 ER (base record).

A real, disclosed four-county regional catchment

The hospital delivers primary health care to a real, disclosed regional population of approximately 6,000 across McLean, Ward, McHenry, and Mountrail Counties -- a genuine, substantial healthcare draw (base record).

Directly relevant given Garrison's older population

This real, disclosed regional healthcare access is directly relevant given Garrison's genuinely older, retiree-skewed population profile (base record).

A real, disclosed crime-data gap

This pass's research budget did not surface a specific, sourced, Garrison-city-specific crime-rate figure -- a real, disclosed gap this record discloses honestly rather than inventing one (base record).
