Hospitals at capacity require additional hospitals and staff to service the growing demand for those services.

New hospitals generally don't wait for everyone else to hit capacity.
Also capacity is a big gray area. Many things can be done, from extra opening hours for hospital functions to non-hospital organizations expanding their services.
Even if the result is more services sold, you're talking about a very incremental addition -- a fraction of the volume of work at the new hospital. You don't get to count the whole thing as net added activity.
And those additional services come from the same regional buying power...they're (mostly) not new money. If someone is finally dealing with that mole on their nose, they're not spending that money elsewhere.
