I think a simple answer would be that the 7 stops at different spots near the hospital, and picks up people at a shorter stop spacing along its length. In combination, this allows for the infirm to more easily get from home to the hospital. If you move the 7 to Weber, there would only be one hospital stop (on the 200), increasing their walk at GRH, and either they have to walk to the closest 200 stop at home (increasing their walk), or they need to transfer between the 7 and the 200 (increasing their trip time from the current 7-only situation, and possibly their walk, though most of the logical transfer points wouldn't add much/any aside from an extra on/off of the bus).
