How did projections go so wrong?

Does anyone else wonder how our current population and projected growth can be so underestimated by everyone involved in opposing this hospital? This might actually be the cause of those wrong numbers that have filtered through Williamson Medical and Maury Regional. Listed below is a chart from a document prepared for Williamson County to help determine Urban Growth Boundaries. This "Population and Demand Analysis" seems to match very closely the previous CON's submitted by Williamson Medical Center.

Take a look...




Here are 2 of the pages that explain what this chart is trying to show and how they came up with the numbers. If these County Commissioners have been using this information to form opinions about this hospital (in order to find cause to oppose it) then their head is buried in the sand. This forecasting information is so incredibly inaccurate that it is comical. When are people going to wake up and see that all previous information submitted to the HSDA that refers to the "NEED" in Spring Hill is flat out wrong.

If any of you out there have a little bit of free time in the next couple of days please contact all of the Williamson County Commissioners and let them hear your desire to have them vote against the resolution opposing the new hospital in Spring Hill.

Notice how the argument from WMC always comes down to 'CATH LAB' and 'FULL SERVICE'. Is it any surprise that they don't address the real issue - 'NEED' and 'PROJECTED POPULATION'?

that is because there is no need and the expansions at MRH and WMC have accounted for the projected population. You can't talk about something that isn't there.
