Shared site plan offered in Westlake hospital feud
West Shore executive director Edwin Ross said a shared site plan between West Shore and St. John would give West Shore ownership of a central services facility with St. John involved in administration. By 1985 a second phase would add medical offices for private physicians, a nursing home, and a parking garage, with a 1990 completion and a public health building. Ohio health director John Acker-Iwan suggested compromises, and Ross said the new plan could be one of those alternates. The proposal would close 120 beds at St. John and 116 beds at Bay View, adding four beds overall for a far West Side hospital project aligned with Health Planning Corp. plans.
