You need to get out more. There is 100,000 people living in Heritage Valley right now and a majority of the Edmontons growth is on the south side and will continue to do so into the future.
I do enjoy the “get out more” comment. Literally grew up in windemere. I get the need for a hospital down there.

We’re also doubling our population inside the henday. So increased capacity at existing hospitals is good.

A new hospital is definitely needed. But if timeline and funding are going to mean no new capacity for 15 years, that’s an issue. If we can get a few hundreds more beds in the interim, that’s helpful.

Devon and Leduc both have hospitals, and grey nuns serves the SE henday area. And the UofA and Royal Alex are both accessible by high frequency transit from the south. It’s not like there are 0 options. Of course we need a south hospital, this might be stupid politicking, but I like the idea of also expanding existing facilities.
