Recall the rural medical clinics in Example 10.3 and suppose that each community were required to be 25 miles at most from the nearest clinic. How many clinics would be needed, and what would their locations be? Give all possible location solutions.
Example 10.3
Rural Medical Clinics
A state department of health is concerned about the lack of medical care in rural areas, and a group of nine communities has been selected for a pilot program in which medical clinics will be opened to serve primary health care needs. It is hoped that every community will be within 30 miles of at least one clinic. The planners would like to determine the number of clinics that are required and their locations. Any community can serve as a potential clinic site except for community 6, because facilities are unavailable there. Figure 10.7shows a network
