Albany Medical Center, a hospital located in Albany, NY, is considering eliminating its substance use disorder treatment service and replacing it with a new center to treat patients with traumatic brain injuries. It must present this proposal to its board of directors for approval.

a. If you were a member of the hospital's board of directors, specify two facts that you would want to know in order to make this decision on behalf of the hospital. (2 points)

b. If you were a resident of the community in which Albany Medical Center is located, specify two facts that you would want to know in order to determine whether the acquisition would benefit or harm you and your neighbors. (2 points)

The context of this question is for a health systems, policy and law class. I was not given much information of the context of this question, but I assume the answer needs to involve what laws would be involved in the making of these decisions.
