I ask because our local hospital has a set of 24 antennas on the roof of its Maternity Building.

No one is in danger.
I have yet to see a peer-reviewed scientific paper or study that proves that cell-phone antennas pose health risks.
That having been said, it sounds like those antennas are RECEIVING transmissions. The antennas are there to grab the weak signals coming from the cellular phone towers.
Even if they are transmitters, the risk is low. You probably get more ambient radiation from your microwave at home.

The cell phone phenomenon is a multi-billion dollar industry - I doubt very much if any study that might indicate a detrimental effect won't be disputed by a hundred different "experts."
No one knows if there are any long term effects - however, most valid studies state that they are safe.
