[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While there are definitely pros for: Inova, the site owners/developers, the West End, Lincolnia and other nearby parts of Fairfax County, possibly residents near the current hospital, and the region at large (due to the addition of a Level II trauma center),  there is also a major downside for residents of a large part of Alexandria due to moving the City’s only hospital further away to the far western edge of the City.

The current location is pretty close to the geographic center of the City.

For those in Old Town, Del Ray, Rosemont, etc, the new location adds significant travel time.  Going via the Beltway and 395 instead of King or Braddock would help, but not if the Beltway or 395 are clogged. For many of them, it would make it as fast or faster to go to Virginia Hospital Center.  Unfortunately, in an emergency, I suspect that AFD would take them to the new Inova rather than VHC even if VHC were closer/faster.

Having an elderly parent who lives in Old Town, I have mixed feelings about this announcement.  [/quote]

The Landmark site isn't all that far away from the current site. INOVA is also adding a HealthPlex in Potomac Yards.[/quote]
