Henry Mayo Hospital Expansion Plan Opposed

Homeowners Near Hospital Opposed to 25-Year Expansion Plan

Valencia homeowner David Gauny launched a new website recently to oppose the proposed expansion of the Henry Mayo Newhall Memorial Hospital.

The proposed expansion would include three 5-story medical buildings and one 6-story building as well as three 5-story parking garages. It would also relocate the helicopter pad to the top of one of the buildings.

Gauny is concerned about the increased traffic flow and the potential obstruction of views of homes on the Valencia Summit because of these taller buildings.

Gauny's website states that the expansion would include only 55 additional beds at the hospital, but a hospital spokesperson stated that 225 beds would be added. Gauny also claims that the expansion would include the removal of three homes and countless trees along Orchard Village Road, but again the hospital states that this is untrue.

Homeowners who are in the immediate area that may be impacted by the expansion have apparently been invited to attend a private meeting next week to discuss this project and their concerns.
