Summary
This dossier organizes public evidence about Beaver Island care infrastructure and access. It combines ten source families, an evidence matrix, and an eleven-entry timeline while excluding patient charts, diagnoses, and individual clinical narratives.
The held sources support discrete public episodes rather than a seamless care history: emergency access in 1923, community facility organizing in the 1950s, reported 1971 capability and transport arrangements, later emergency-aircraft actions, the 2003–04 replacement-facility project, and current 2026 institutional and state-status descriptions.
Evidence limits
The dossier does not establish historical staffing, licenses, utilization, transfer totals, funding expenditure, clinical outcomes, or private care histories. It retains the 1954 reported Medical Center opening and the current Rural Health Center’s 1955 establishment statement as competing source dates, pending public organizational and facility records.
