Anyone work in or know of an emergency department that is currently in an area or a hospital designated as "Underserved"?
 
I can't really tell. The government webpage is pretty tough to decipher.

I can say that yes, the place where I worked as a tech sure does seem to be in an "underserved area," per the rules. On a 1 to 100 scale, anything less than a 62 counts as underserved. Our neighborhood was in the high 40s.
