Heart disease focus
of LGH TV program

LIONS GATE Hospital

and its

medical staff are

spearheading a new four-part CBC television series on car-

clio-vascular diseases.

The pilot for On Call will com-
prise four half-hour segments deal-
ing with various aspects of heart
disease. All four will be taped
Monday, Dec. 12 in front of a live
studio audience. Dates for airing
the programs will be announced
following the initial taping.

Tickets for the show, which are
free, can be picked up at LGH’s
admission desk prior to the taping
and will also be available Dec. 12
at CBC’s studio 41 if there are any
seats remaining.

LGH doctors will be featured as
special guest panelists on each of
the public education shows and
they will field questions from the
studio audience.

Depending on the success of the
first four programs, two additional
four-part programs could be Pro-
duced and televised in the joint
medical health awareness initiative
of LGH and CBC.

The pilot is being sponsored by
the CBC and ICI Pharmaceuticals
along with LGH’s Medical Staff
Association and the hospital’s
community education comunittec.

“It’s really exciting,’? LGH
president Robert Smith said. ‘“‘It’s
going to be good for Lions Gate
Hospital and the North Shore
community whether it’s (the pilot)
successful or not.”

Smith said LGH will own the
four taped segments following
their production and could use

them for education programs
within the hospital or on com-
munity television.

The shows, he said, could also
be marketed elsewhere if they are
not a success on CBC.

Smith added that the topic of
the pilot is extremely timely: ‘‘The
number one killer is heart
disease.”

The first segment of the series
will focus on hardening of the
arteries and will feature LGH fam-
ily physician Dr. Suzanne
Montemuro as a guest panelist.

Subsequent segments will exam-
ine hypertension with guest panel-
ist Dr. Warren Mayo, head of
LGH’s intensive care ward; heart
attacks, with new LGH car-
diologist Dr. John Imrie; and
strokes with featured guest panelist
Dr. Barry Purves, an LGH neuro-
surgeon.

The shows will be co-produced
by Spalding Production Ltd. and
the CBC on behalf of LGH.

Ali four will be produced Dec.
12, with segments one and two be-
ing taped between 6:30 p.m. and
8:30 p.m. and segments three and
four being taped from 8:45 p.m. to
11] p.m.
