==Access to medical care== Westport is in a rural area in the Adirondack Park, and so most of its access to medical care is via the ferry operated by [[Lake Champlain Transportation Company]]. The nearest [[emergency department]] is [[Elizabethtown Community Hospital]], a 25-bed rural hospital {{convert|9|mi|0}} to the west, with eight doctors on its active medical staff.<ref>[http://www.ech.org/staff.html Medical Staff & Specialty Physicians, Elizabethtown Community Hospital].</ref> About {{convert|30|mi}} by car to the northeast in [[Burlington, Vermont|Burlington]], accessible via ferry, is the emergency department of [[University of Vermont Medical Center]], a large, full-service hospital affiliated with the [[University of Vermont]]. During times when the ferry from Essex is not running, the nearest full-service emergency department is at [[CVPH Medical Center]], in [[Plattsburgh (city), New York|Plattsburgh]], {{convert|41|mi}} north of Westport. Slightly closer, though a slower drive over rural roads, is [[Porter Hospital]] in [[Middlebury, Vermont]], accessible via the bridge at [[Crown Point, New York|Crown Point]].
