Providence Holy Cross Medical Center Ignores Community, Environmental Concerns With Planned Expansion of Mission Hill...(ed to move forward with construction not...),Health

Date:5/12/2008

ed to move forward with construction, not withstanding the pending case and particularly statements by Judge McKnew that are favorable to the CARE Coalition's position. My goal has always been protecting the environment and quality of life in the surrounding community. Holy Cross should have waited for the outcome of the pending case before breaking ground."

CARE's repeated attempts to raise their concerns with PHCMC have been met by a media and legal campaign designed to hold the huge health care provider unaccountable to community input. Said Hunter, "We're angered that Holy Cross is doing this, I think it reflects their total disregard for the community. I've never dealt with anyone as intractable as this company." Regardless of today's development, however, the Coalition will continue with their efforts to bring the approval process into compliance with CEQA guidelines.

Media Availability: Wayde Hunter, President of the North Valley Coalition of Concerned Citizens, and CARE Coalition member, will be available for press requests. He can be reached at 818.363.3597.
