WMA has one level I trauma center (Baystate Medical Center) whose service area covers one of the largest geographic regions in the northeast. Compared to the Boston metro area with seven level I trauma centers. It's kind of bananas.

Exactly. More medical services means more jobs, better health for the region, and more money to hopefully spend on infrastructure

I work remotely and recently moved from the Burlington area out to Western Mass. I can confirm that trying to find a primary care physician out here is an exercise in futility. I've had a couple of places tell me to check back in 2024 in mid 2022
For now, it's easier just to drive back to my old one by Boston.
Weirdly specialty care can be a little easier, but you better not have an HMO that requires a referral.
