“Too many residents of the county were actively hostile to Husband and our family, so we had to make the difficult decision to leave.”

This is exactly what LW should say to hammer the message home. I live in a community that serves a huge rural area; my province has been struggling for decades to attract rural doctors. While Prudence may be mortified by what people told LW to their face, I am not; it's one of the main reasons why doctors leave rural practices. Especially if the doctor trained in another country, and/or is a member of a marginalized group. Being part of the "in" group is more important to some communities than having healthcare available.
