Children's is in a great location. It is on the west campus of the university, and 5 minutes to our other trauma hospital (Foothills). If you live on the edge of the earth in the deep south it may be a nuisance to get to but for the city as a whole it is fine.
These health/research/university/acute care complexes are very popular for good reason. Foothills/Children's/UofC makes up Calgary's most important health centre.

I can see you argument about the proximity to the Foothill's, but IIRC it is a stand alone hospital, not dependent on other facilities. I believe (but am going from memory) that they have all their own specialists on staff, including oncology. It can stand alone.
I guess those in the deep south don't deserve the same ability to meet the golden hour? Not only is it stuck up in the NW, it can be a pain in the ass to find. It isn't directly accessable from major roads, I think Shaganappi is behind it, but there is not access to the hospital.

I mean, I get they had an ER, I mentioned that in my first post about it, but I'm a little surprised other ER's routed you there. Then, I agree, the location would matter, and yeah, it's very NW. |
At the time they did, it was about 8 yrs ago
