There are many reasons for this but one of the top reasons is it is quickly accessible. Time is everything in a cardiac event. If I suffer a cardiac event in my home once St Mary's closes, the time it will take to get to the new hospital will likely cost my my life... But oh well, its sexy to put a hospital on University land.
While St. Mary's has outstanding cardiac care I think surviving a cardiac event is going to be influenced more by how quickly emergency services arrive and can start CPR, oxygen a defibrillator, etc., than whether the ambulance drive is 2 minutes or 10.
