Landing restrictions at a Children's Hospital

According to this article, the situation does appear to be improving, but I was shocked at the restrictions that were in place:
The statement comes after a since-deleted social media post went viral days ago. The post from someone who claimed to be a helicopter pilot had said that many patients have to land a mile away at an alternative pad and be transported by ambulance to the hospital.
For the year 2025, there were 150 "actutely ill" helipad landings, or not quite one every other day.
I'm well aware of the hostility in some neighborhoods towards local air traffic (I fly into Santa Monica and Torrance quite often), but a children's hospital???? It's almost... evil.

Never underestimate the sheer assholler-y of entitled (making an assumption here based on the location of the neighborhood near a lake) rich people.
