Council Voting on $1B Boston Children's Hospital Expansion

The vote is expected to draw protests from the group, Friends of Prouty Garden

The Massachusetts Public Health Council will vote Thursday on a $1 billion proposed expansion to Boston Children's Hospital. 

The vote is expected to draw protests from the group, Friends of Prouty Garden. 

The expansion includes a new building on the Longwood campus, which jeopardizes the future of the Prouty Garden. 

The green-space is considered an escape for patients and their families. 

The vote is the last step for the hospital to gain state approval.
