Hi Don

I don't know how "medical" your situation requires. Or if your facility will be big or small.

Around here there is an organization which runs a network of small adult residential care facilities, 4 to 8 clients per building. They are scattered around the city built-in to ordinary residential houses. My daughter works at one of those, where there are 4 clients with various physical and mental disabilities, and at least one worker 24/7. All those small facilities here, have cable TV and a cable internet router. Partly for the clients, partly for convenience of the staff, and I'm sure nowadays a lot of day-to-day business is transacted by email so they have got to have the internet connection.

On the more-medical end of the spectrum, I don't think I've visited a doctor office or hospital lately, that did not have local open-access wireless internet connection. Am sure it is partly supplied as a convenience for patients and visitors as they spend so much time sitting and waiting. On the other hand, the doctors and nurses would probably demand the access even if the customers did not.

So PERHAPS there are pretty good odds that your facility will have at least wifi wireless available to hook up to. Only judging from what I've seen around here.
