Straight-Line Distance Baseline From Lawrence to Amesbury

Approved by Clinical Staff

The Lawrence-to-Amesbury straight-line distance baseline is 14.7 miles. It uses Census representative points and the haversine formula, rounded to the nearest 0.1 mile. It is a geographic comparison only. It does not represent road mileage, travel time, transportation mode, program access, or a Lawrence facility.

What the 14.7-mile baseline means

MVBH admissions explains the admissions route, while contact MVBH provides the direct contact path. For Lawrence, the verified geographic baseline to Amesbury is 14.7 straight-line miles between representative points.

The calculation provides one stable comparison for the route context: 14.7 miles between representative points for Lawrence and Amesbury. It uses the haversine formula with an Earth radius of 3,958.7613 miles. The result is rounded to the nearest 0.1 mile.

This number is useful as an initial geographic reference, not a complete trip estimate. It does not measure travel from a specific Lawrence address. It also does not use MVBH’s street address as the destination coordinate. The destination point represents Amesbury rather than the entrance to Mill 77.

Which route factors remain separate

contact MVBH for first-party location or admissions context. Review weekly round-trip distance scenarios from lawrence to amesbury when considering repeated travel. The straight-line baseline alone cannot supply a weekly total.

A route decision may involve several different numbers. This page verifies only the straight-line baseline. Road mileage requires a road route. Travel time requires route, traffic, transportation mode, and timing information. None of those elements are part of this calculation.

Recurring travel is another separate question. A weekly total depends on the number of round trips and the applicable route distance. The source calculation supplies no weekly round-trip mileage. Keeping these measures separate prevents the 14.7-mile figure from being mistaken for a practical travel schedule.

Evidence boundaries for the calculation

weekly round-trip distance scenarios from lawrence to amesbury addresses a different travel measure. outpatient treatment programs provides program context. Neither changes the limits of the 14.7-mile straight-line calculation.

The evidence boundary is narrow. Lawrence and Amesbury are represented by coordinate points rather than individual street addresses. The formula calculates the shortest surface distance between those representative points. It does not follow streets, bridges, intersections, or a selected route.

The baseline also does not answer program questions. MVBH’s locked scope lists PHP, IOP, OP, Virtual IOP, and Dual Diagnosis. That list establishes named program categories only. It does not connect the 14.7-mile calculation to program availability, fit, frequency, coverage, or outcomes.
