We must fight to maintain hospital services

Editor: I recently had cause to use the facilities of our hospital for day surgery and can only speak highly of every aspect of the care I received. My wife had occasion to access the ER last year and spent a week in the wards.

I recently had cause to use the facilities of our hospital for day surgery and can only speak highly of every aspect of the care I received.

My wife had occasion to access the ER last year and spent a week in the wards. Again, the care and attention lavished upon her was of the highest order.

That our community hospital has endured funding cuts and is unable to provide surgical care like other hospitals in the region is a scandal that must be addressed by our council and the community at large.

The Fraser Health Authority strikes me as being very similar to TransLink: top heavy with little real regard for its customers.

Doug Massey and his Friends of Delta Hospital deserve to be supported and I urge all concerned residents to get involved. Like other aspects of our community, such as development within the area plans, if we don't fight to keep them, they will disappear.
