I admit that I'm a bit confused re hospitals. As you cited from today's paper, one is being built on 472. My first reaction was that this was the one referred to in yesterday's paper and I was, to say the least, underimpressed. But in looking as bit closer, I noted that the 472 hospital takes up 7 acres, while the one approved in conjunction with Brownwood comprises 51 acres. That's gotta be more than the Promise Hospital facility. Now I'm no denigrating the Promise place --- sounds like something we could use --- but it would be nice to have a much bigger facility down south. I'll be interested in seeing more information as it comes out. Russ, if you heard anything while interviewing, let us know.
