Why can the hospital not be the destination? Why do we need to assume that the route map in 2030 looks the same as it does today?
It can be, but it won't generate as many trips as multiple destinations. It will be able to justify some amount of service, but that amount will be less than if the same route serving this destination could also serve others.
The route map will look different in 2030, but basic principles will be the same. Direct routes with higher density of trips are better than circuitous routes with lower density, and the latter will warrant less service.
