Despite a spate of setbacks, the Yale-New Haven Hospital project on Devine Street is proceeding, according to an article published today in the New Haven Register.
Speaking at Thurday night's state of the town address at Fantasia's, First Selectman Mike Freda noted that new developments in the deal would be revealed in the coming weeks.
From the story:
“We will be moving forward with the Yale-New Haven Hospital project. In the next two weeks, we’ll see more details,” said Freda.
Plans for developing a medical epicenter on Devine Street hit a roadblock last year when Yale-New Haven's Certificate of Need was rejected by the state's Office of Health Care Access. The hospital has stated that they will be reapplying for permission in 2012.
In the meantime, a group of cardiologists have already set up an office on the site. Other treatment facilities are expected to follow.
What are your thoughts on the revival of the Yale-New Haven project? Could the town benefit from the emergency center?

I think it will be a great asset to the town and its residents. Having a Yale-New Haven Hospital sattelite facility in town will make it so much easier for patients since they won't have to drive to New Haven with its parking problems and costs. If an emergency suite and radiation/chemo infusion center are included in the design, that would be an amazing benefit for area residents. I'm for it 100%.
