Tuesday night I attended Cathedral Hill Neighbors Association community meeting to discussHealthcare Equity for San Francisco neighborhoods in regards to the conversion of Cathedral Hill Hotel into Cathedral Hill Hospital.
Cathedral Hill Neighbors Association is fighting the size of the hospital. There is also concern that the new CPMC campus could have negative impacts on the health care provided at St Luke's, another Sutter Health hospital, along with impacts on the surrounding Cathedral Hill neighborhood and traffic.
Cathedral Hill Hotel, across the street from Tommy's Joint at Geary and Van Ness just closed down a couple of days ago. This project would take five to 7 years, the building would be 331 feet tall, 4,000 employees, medical offices connected by tunnel and emergency/ambulance entrance on Franklin Street .
Cathedral Hill Neighbors goals:
- Ensure compliance with height, density and land use restrictions, without exemptions for special interests.
- Maintain and enhance safe air quality, noise levels and environmental health standards.
- Limit unreasonable traffic and parking congestion in transit corridors.
Some solutions suggested:
- Considering a large alternative site, especially parcels south of Market Street
- Building two 250 bed state of the art hospitals, one on Cathedral Hill and one at St. Luke's campus
- Retaining the California Campus to provide additional acute and sub-acute services.
