On Feb. 6, I was unfortunately sent to the hospital for a stay on one month.
Fortunately as a resident of Tsawwassen I went to our Delta Hospital in Ladner. I went to send my sincere thanks to all staff there that looked after me so well. I can't speak highly enough of the doctors, nurses and physiotherapist that cared for me. Highest regards to Dr. James, who diagnosed my problem and took the time to check on me and explain what they found and what they were doing about my illness.
I am an 89-year-old man and had to be transferred to White Rock and Surrey hospitals to have tests done and then transferred back to Delta Hospital.
I find it difficult to believe that the health system has not put back into Delta Hospital what they took away. This is a large community that needs a hospital that can act on its own.
I believe it would in the long run save money to have Delta Hospital extended and operated as a complete facility.
