Most hospitals are required to have secondary power, but how long would that be running and could people get to them?

Yet many hospitals are required to treat them under state laws.

Under the law, hospitals are required to provide at least initial treatment for most emergency patients.

Starting in 1989, every hospital was required to appoint a medical director to police its doctors.

It will not apply to emergency patients, which the hospital is required by law to accept.

Every hospital in the state is required to treat anybody who needs care, regardless of ability to pay.

In such cases, hospitals are required to supply representatives for free.

Since 1985, the state has required hospitals to report what are known as "adverse events."

By law, hospitals are required to treat any patients, regardless of their ability to pay.
