That sounds like a great medical care facility! I hope you have a good appointment today. I can totally understand why they don't celebrate Columbus Day. I think a few states and towns changed it to Indigenous People's Day to acknowledge the historical pains and to respect their culture and align it with our current laws that respect the Natives here in the U.S. One day, I'm hoping to read more history about that since I didn't pay much attention 30 or more years ago when I was in high school. The things I wish I had learned then but didn't - I now want to learn in my mid-40s.
