St. Paul's moving?

Is St. Paul’s Hospital moving? In the current living+ magazine, there’s an article about the possibility of St. Paul’s moving from the west end. Providence Health Care is looking at how to expand St. Paul’s currently limited facilities in the future. Some land was purchased on False Creek Flats (north of the rail station by Main Street), and Providence holds an option to use that land. If this happens, how will it affect the many persons living with HIV in the West End? BCPWA will be meeting with Providence officials this fall to discuss what is going on. What do you think about all of this?

I think the powers that be should expand St Pauls at its existing location. Ideally, my hope would be that the old wing be demolished keeping the facade with the building constructed with at least a dozen floors. The tops floors could subsidize the maintenance of the building with rooms to rent to out of town relatives of patients.
