  • To avoid flooding is a possible reason. Sometimes the air is less polluted at higher elevations. Bed rock close to the surface is more likely on hilltops = good foundation. The hospital looks more impressive on a hill top. High visibility makes it easier for strangers to find the hospital. Neil

  • If it floods do you really want your town’s hospital underwater?
