RE: Cambridge Memorial Hospital Expansion | ?m | 4fl | U/C - rangersfan - 06-26-2015 Article talking about the potential need for further hospital beds in the region. http://m.therecord.com/news-story/5696884-region-could-need-another-150-hospital-beds-within-a-decade RE: Cambridge Memorial Hospital Expansion | ?m | 4fl | U/C - numberguy - 06-26-2015 Hmmm, long overdue. Another P3 IO project, eh? RE: Cambridge Memorial Hospital Expansion | ?m | 4fl | U/C - DHLawrence - 06-26-2015 Wouldn't surprise me if a new hospital did become necessary in time, regardless of the creation of alternative spaces. CMH can't really get any bigger after this expansion is completed and Grand River can only expand if they buy the Sun Life lot.

Or tear down the parking garage/deck (new parking would have to be found somewhere nearby, of course). But there is quite a lot of room to grow in Freeport yet.

The Northwest corner is a two storey structure which could easily be replaced with a 20 storey building. This would effectively double the available space in GRH. Mind you, I would prefer if they extend into the Sun Life lot (possibly with some shared parking structure), but let's not limit ourselves unnecessarily.

In talking to people in the local health care profession, they all say, in Waterloo Region, expanding hospitals the way they have been is foolish, we need another hospital built, and that's the only way to deal with the demand. I don't think we should be looking at building on the same location. A new location will help EMS times too RE: Cambridge Memorial Hospital Expansion | ?m | 4fl | U/C - DHLawrence - 06-27-2015 Windsor is going through the same thing. Both main hospital sites are pretty much at their maximum and their emergency rooms are smaller than provincial regulations mandate, so the city is searching for a new site. RE: Cambridge Memorial Hospital Expansion | ?m | 4fl | U/C - Osiris - 06-27-2015 I appreciate that Waterloo is anti-services, but I am surprised they haven't found an excuse to parlay some of these redeveloping lands near the Universities into a hospital yet. I realize the UW ownership makes it untenable, but I think something in the R&T park would work well, in terms of access (especially once it has an LRT stop!), distance from the other hospitals, and ability for other specialist firms to locate nearby.

Completely agree. I think UW's North Campus is an ideal location for a new hospital and would serve Waterloo well. There is lots of land right off Westmount Road that would be ideal and give great access. Being university land, the zoning permits a hospital. It is also very central to much of the City and the northwest sides of the Region. Perhaps a new state of the art teaching hospital and medical school for UW to compliment the School of Pharmacy and School of Optometry and existing partnership with McMaster University?? RE: Cambridge Memorial Hospital Expansion | ?m | 4fl | U/C - mpd618 - 06-27-2015 I like the idea of the R&T Park as a location for a hospital, but is that where the demand is?

UW has been trying for a while. The Province has repeatedly said no.

I can't speak to demand; I would have a hard time defining it and suspect that it would have too strong of a current-location effect. I look at it simply from a geographic and demographic distribution. Any further north and you're isolating it, any further south and you're overlapping with GRH and St. Mary's, never mind going to have a hard time finding suitable, affordable land. With that in mind I'd hate to suggest it goes further east or west as the notion of a suburban hospital bothers me for reasons unknown, although I guess a case could be made to put one near the expressway, perhaps off of Riverbend drive? I can already hear the cries of Laurelwood residents being slighted, however. And I would certainly put it in Waterloo as Cambridge has their own and it's reasonably central to the city. Where do you envision the demand being? |
