New wards for Lions G

Emergency and x-ray dept’s open Monday

By PAT RICH

Thac is the key point

that Lions Gate
Hospital staff like to
stress when talking
about the new

emergency wing of the
hospital, which will
open on Monday.

And from a tour oof the
new cmergency and 4k tay
seclons you can see what
they mean cven though the
rooms naturally look a bot
emptice without the hustle
and bustle of patents and
hospital staf

The new wing completes a
series of fremovations to the
hospital and staff are powed
