Concerns and Questions Surrounding The Proposed City of Faith Hospital

The writer of the text is questioning the need for the proposed City of Faith hospital in Tulsa. They argue that there is already a surplus of hospital beds and that the existing hospitals have the capacity to care for the medically indigent. They also question the inconsistency between the proposed focus on chronic diseases and the inclusion of acute care facilities in the plans. The writer raises concerns about the impact on regional hospitals, the potential influx of patients without funds, and the lack of data supporting the need for the new hospital. They also question the exemption of religious organizations from health planning and the potential impact on health care costs. The writer calls for the approval process to be based on hard data rather than emotion.
