Broadlands Hospital Approved!

I am still on the fence regarding the hospital. I am not even really against it being built in Broadlands. But I really have to question in a county with very rapid growth, the location of choice. I mean, I know that the eastern part of the county is being built up pretty quickly so you have most of the population growth there, but it seems to be self serving to place a hospital that close to another. When Leesburg would make more sense to me.

Now having said that, the less I have to travel to get done what I need to get done is great. But I really have to question their location choice. It is obvious to me that they want to compete with LCH. When the big picture should have them locating to where the anticipated growth is going which will be futher west.

In the meantime with such explosion of growth - our school system is what is not able to support this growth either. And we should be focusing attention on that issue which is already a nightmare.

 

HI Everyone, Just wanted to let you know that there is some VERY GOOD news concerning this HCA proposal. I would love to share it right now, but will wait for the appropriate time. We will be setting up our community meeting within the next week or two. SMILE SMILE SMILE...There is light at the end of this long, dark and bumpy tunnel. Donna

 

Ah, I sense the ole' bait and switch, car salesmen thing happening [8D]

 

Hey everyone. Did you hear the great news about the new BRMC hospital proposal? Sorry, I don't have time to share it right now but it's really great news and it will be coming out sooner or later... [}]

 

sorry you think it's the ol' bait and switch, however it is important and timing is everything

 

I'll tell you the motivation, they want to get "butts in seats" at their closed "strategy" meeting. wooo, "got to be on the inside to hear what's going on." This really is not a different tactic than what was done before. Nothing new here.

 

You know, you're right, I do consider everything from you as spin. Good point. That is why so many are quick to correct or shed light on your posts. Nothing personal, goes back to your paid position with LHC.

By the way, if you are so interested in getting the story right, why did you not disclose your LHC connection within your recent editorial?

Maybe the reason I don't want to share all the information on here is I might not want certain community members (those who think everything I say is spin) to hear it before those community members that are opposed to HCA hear it. I will be emailing those that are on my eamil list about this important new development and I'm sorry if you feel its the ol' bait and switch but I do speak to many community members outside of this forum.

 

Donna - if you feel it is important to "the community" whether anti or pro hospital, then why not post it?

Edited for spelling purposes only.

 

I hit the wrong button in error. I regret that my computer skills are not what I'd like.

 

More spin?

It happens to all of us.

 

Seems to me that Donna has done a great job keeping all of us informed about the hospital issues. I can't believe the petty sniping going on. She must feel as if she's being pecked to death by ducks. Donna: There are many of us who don't write on this forum often, but believe me, we support you and your efforts. Keep up the good work---and let us know as soon as you can what the good news is. I can only hope that HCA has seen the light and decided to move on to someplace where they are wanted.

 

Thank You Marty, hearing nice words on this forum is rare...but it's always nice

 

Hummm, conspiracy theory,,,Marty - first post - could it be .... Donna in disguise? [8)]

Don't get bent...I am just kidding....really I am just kidding. Welcome Marty.

 

Maybe Donna is talking about this article http://www.leesburg2day.com/current.cfm?catid=28&newsid=8726

Absolutley ridiculous. LHI is proposing changes to the county general plan that specifically benefit them. LHI doesn't care about Loudoun County. They only care about maintaining the stranglehold on healthcare in the area.

No one is building a hospital in Dulles South. No one is building a hospital in the west. This plan is a smokescreen designed to eliminate HCA altogether. Please start calling and writing your representatives.

BTW even if you do get the general plan changed (and I think that is a long shot). There is another election in 3 more years and there are quite a few of us who will spare no expense to elect a board that will roll back whatever changes are made and support the BRMC.

 

The plan is absolutely amazing! VW, thank you for sharing the glorious news!!! By leveraging all the groups in the county that oppose building a redudant, duplicate ho$pital in the middle of the Broadlands PLUS the poor souls in South Riding whose children go without convenient access to basic healthcare, the good folks at Loudoun Healthcare seem poised for victory.
