We are looking at this hospital. The Mohawk Valley Health System has Sighted Various Hospitals, which were sited by NBBJ while researching options for their Oneida County Concept. This OhioHealth Riverside Hospital (2015 total revenue: $2,452,502,888) is a 756-bed general medical and surgical hospital.
Columbus is the capital and largest city in Ohio, the 14th-largest United States with a population of 860,090. The city is 223 square miles [Ref.], as opposed to Utica's 17 square miles.

However this hospital is NOT in Downtown Columbus, not even close...
We see @MVHealthSystem was directed to the Neuroscience Center @OhioHealth Riverside Hospital. Did they visit, then go downtown for dinner? pic.twitter.com/DGlibo9WDZ

Utica has had problems for a long time, and a downtown hospital would only fuel the sad, sad, trend...
Is @MVHealthSystem Columbus, OH dreaming? A downtown hospital doesn't fix this! So @CityofUtica / @MayorPalmieri what is happening here? pic.twitter.com/ILttsSmGqw

Hey MVEDGE, or MVHS, or Albany, "silver bullets" have not worked before, so please direct this Hospital Concept elsewhere!
Don't destroy Utica's Downtown Utica's Columbia Lafayette Neighborhood, there's 64 acres at St. Luke's on a green hilltop!
