People who live in the north end of Waterloo, or Elmira or Wellesley, will benefit from the new hospital location because it puts resources much closer to where they live. There was never going to be a location that makes everyone happy. (For me personally, the UW location will be twice as far away from my home as either GRH or StM).
Right, we build hospitalS.
A single location is obviously idiotic. The correct thing to do is to open a new location and keep the existing ones.
Any experts reading this who disagree: If I’m wrong, you should be able to explain briefly why and how. I promise to read and think carefully about anything you write before repeating my disagreement (or, in principle, changing my opinion, but I don’t see that as very likely in this case; at a minimum you must address the issue of resilience in the face of an ER-closing event).
