There are certain problems with this

Cooper Green closes clinic in Bessemer

They're directing patients to their clinic in Fultondale. I don't know if this will work, but I'm trying to link to a map.

From Bessemer AL to Fultondale AL

Assuming that the link works, you will notice that Fultondale is on what is technically called the other side of Birmingham from Bessemer, and is some 20 miles away on the interstate, assuming that the interstate hasn't been blown up by a truck accident that day.

Now, they didn't have much choice, as the air conditioning at the Bessemer clinic is broken and therefore the place is uninhabitable. But Fultondale? That's the best they can do? I used to live in Bessemer, and when I was young I had only the vaguest idea where Fultondale was. I knew that somewhere on the other side of Birmingham there were several towns with "Dale" at the end of their name and it was one of them. Which was Fultondale and which one was Forestdale, Gardendale, Avondale... Who knows?
