Comments on: Work on the New Hospital Begins! http://suttermedicalcentercastrovalley.org/blog/2009/work-on-the-new-hospital-begins/ Sutter Medical Center Castro Valley Tue, 27 Jul 2010 18:10:09 -0700 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Cassandra Clark http://suttermedicalcentercastrovalley.org/blog/2009/work-on-the-new-hospital-begins/comment-page-1/#comment-1839 Cassandra Clark Tue, 14 Jul 2009 01:12:10 +0000 http://suttermedicalcentercastrovalley.org/blog/?p=1331#comment-1839 Thank you for your questions. We will have a post soon regarding the helipad relocation and its impact on the community. The Pine Cone Apartments were demolished in two days, between the hours of 7 a.m. and noon on the first day, and 7 a.m. and 3 p.m.on the second day. Work is now underway to remove and recycle the debris. And finally, your question about the design of the new hospital and the involvement of the caregivers -- good news! Teams of nurses, caregivers and physicians were intimately involved in the design of the new hospital. Bryan Daylor, Eden's Vice President of Ancillary Services, wrote two blog posts on this very subject. You can read more at these two posts: http://suttermedicalcentercastrovalley.org/blog/2009/caregivers-contribute-experience-and-creativity-to-design-the-new-hospital/ and http://suttermedicalcentercastrovalley.org/blog/2009/technology-innovation-and-patient-focused-clinical-flow/.

How will the structure be demolished (by wrecking ball, implosion, etc)? I have pets that use the outside when nature calls and don’t want them outside during the time of demolition.

I am able to watch from my back room which brings up a concern. When the helicopter lands at its new location, it will be louder because there is nothing in between the helipad and my house and more dangerous for the same reasons.The lower the barrier the louder the noise. The wind the blades create will cause disruption to my yard and cause more dust in my house if my windows are open. If worst case scenerio happens and a helicopter crashes while trying to land or take off, there is nothing to protect my house and family. We are very familiar with the dangers of helicopters, My husband is a Battalion Chief of the fire Dept. in Redwood City and works frequently with them. At one of the meetings we discussed a living wall, but have never heard from anyone on the subject. The community is getting a wonderful hospital in which I will never use, yet I have to be inconvenienced for years through the construction process. Is there any way you can ease my mind and tell me the living wall will be constructed soon to provide a small band aid during this operation. My address is 19783 Louise ct. My backyard and room where we spend all our time, backs up to Laurel Grove back parking lot. Thank you for your help in this matter. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Keep San Leandro open so care for everyone is at the level we currently have.
