Probably...Right now GSW's either go to Stroger or Christ in Oak Lawn from the south side. Giving them another location basically right between can only help.
I have heard, on a podcast or something, that one of the reasons our murder rate is lower than in 80's and 90's has mostly to do with the abilities and equipment that paramedics have with them when they respond. I think the topic was specifically about cutting funds for fire paramedics, so they did not get into the role the hospitals play. Probably a large one as well.
So basically, maybe.
