<!-- EVAA sitemap.
     ⚠️ EXTENSIONLESS URLs. vercel.json sets `cleanUrls: true` and
     `trailingSlash: false`, so /about.html 308-redirects to /about. Listing the
     .html form would fill the sitemap with redirects.
     ⚠️ index-v1.html is DELIBERATELY ABSENT. It is the frozen V1 rollback
     artifact — still in the repo and still reachable by URL, but it is not in
     the nav and must never be submitted for indexing.
     ⚠️ This file is inert until launch day: robots.txt currently disallows
     everything. Swapping in robots.production.txt is what turns it on. -->

  <!-- /our-hospitals added 8/21 — the practices in the network, and where they
       are. Sean asked for Milford to be named as flagship as part of the launch
       (case 00103154). Sits alongside /excelsior-network, which argues why the
       network exists rather than who is in it. -->

  <!-- /book added 8/19 — the booking page. Every CTA on the site points here,
       so it is a real destination, not a utility hidden from crawlers. It is
       NOT in the nav list: the header's "Book a Call" button is its entry
       point, which is why the nav <ul> is unchanged. -->
