Hospitals in KW

[ijmorlan]

I thought I saw something about "needing" something like 50 acres for a new hospital site (or was it 70?).  Or am I wrong about that?   Such a large site woud imply a suburban location.

I think that’s been mentioned here before. Such a large site in the requirements would imply that someone has already decided that it needs to be out in a field north of St. Jacobs and figured that the best way to ensure that would happen would be to put such a ridiculous property provision in the requirements. I don’t know much about building or running hospitals I do know enough to know that they do not need 50 acres (just look at every existing hospital in the City, and combine with the fact that health care shouldn’t be centralized into a huge megafacility, both for reasons of access and disaster resiliency).
