Using Dover as a reference point, Baltimore is 104 miles away. Why would you travel two hours in an emergency? |

If you mean transfers, yes Dover works with John Hopkins in that respect. |

Having lived here more than 30 years, I know of lots of people who have used Johns Hopkins hospital, but as Charley has pointed out, for an emergency might be a bit difficult. I've heard of people being transferred by helicopter to Maryland (think it's the U of MD hospital in Baltimore that has the great trauma center) or the Philadelphia area trauma centers. I'd think anyone would have to be stablized locally first.

I live in Dover and had to travel to Johns Hopkins weekly for chemo treatments. I have a rare cancer that had me reffered to JH. It is quite a drive...100 miles and it would take about 90-120 minutes.
As for emergency, if I wanted to avoid the 8 hour wait at Kent General, Christiana Hospital has a great trauma center and is only 45 minutes away. It is suppose to be a great hospital.
