Dear Editor:

As a former Chairman of
the Board of Lions Gate
Hospital, I venture to make
a few observations on the
distressing situation which
has developed in our
hospital. I read with interest
the comments of Dr. G.
Barrie Purves and Dr. D.L.
Warner as reported in your
June 8 issue. I entire agree
with their comments and
urge the residents of North
and West Vancouver to
consider them carefully.

] served as a member of
the Board and our hospital
for over 17 years including
acting as Chairman of the
Board. In 1955-59 when we
were fighting desperately
with Victoria to get a new
hospital. Our ambition was
to provide one which would
serve all the people of North

and West Vancouver. When
the hospital was officially
opened in June, 1961,
everyone was extremely
proud of it.

Politics stopped at the
Board--Room door. Many
prominent members of the
community served on the
board. We were not con-
cerned with their politics or
their religion but were in-
terested only in doing what
was best for the entire
community. We enjoyed a
close relationship between
medical and narsing staff,
allied health ( Professionals
and administration.

Two years ago.—we sud-
denly became the focus of
interest in B.C. Abortion had
become a big issue. Instead
of 5O members at the annual
meetng, we suddenly had
600. In 1979 the process was

nhiversary a very special
“community” day!

repeated and the sad fact is
that the Board seems now to
have polarized. The anti-
abortionists have in effect
caused the majority of the
Board to be branded as pro-
abortionists, which is at the
same time unfair and
inaccurate.

The recognized militancy
and fervour of the anti-
abortionist group has made
its mark on the entire
hospital. While I do not
question the sincerity of
their motives, I do question,
and challenge, their right to
introduce a partisan ap-
proach to the solution of
hospital problems. Lions
Gate Hospital has always
sought to provide a high
level of patient care to all

citizens regardless of
politcal faiths, religious
persuasion, race or

economic circumstance.
believe this is the way ost
people want it to continue.

If the anti-abortionist
forces want to change the
law, let them do it at the
federal level. Unfortunately
that does not suit their
tactics. Their immediate
goal is to obtain a majority
of members on the Board
and thus control hospital
policy. The manner in which
they are going about it
however, will accomplish
nothing more than _ the
complete demoralization of
the entire hospital. Is this
really the price they are
prepared to pay to un-
plement their own views?

I entreat every citizen in
North and West Vancouver
to consider this matter
carefully between now and
the annual meeting in

Group ‘could destroy’ our hospital

September. If you are not
now a member of the
society, sign up at once. It
only costs a couple of
dollars. Let us keep our
hospital for all the people of
our community and refuse to

surrender it to a group
whose scemingly unlimited
fervour could destroy what
we have struggled so long to
achieve and maintain.
