The irony of having to walk through/past a parking garage after leaving the station is great.
The station being across the street would be a non issue with the layout of the Hospital done another way. Moving the station across the street and under the garage is a sideways improvement at best.

I imagine building the hospital over Line 2 presented challenges that were insurmountable. Other configurations would have been possible, like the research towers around Line 2, the hospital on the west part of the site on Carling and the parking at the back, though it's possible the hill presented its own challenge for such an option.
As long as I can get from the station to the hospital without stepping outside, I'm fine with it. It's still far more transit accessible than the current location or worse the General campus.
And although the hospital is a bit further, the research towers will be well located closer to the station.
