In the midst of this transition, we are pleased lo report that the hospital has

continued te meet its obligations to provide service and care to our communi a

medicare. Although the hospital Board is not ina position to influence this
trend, it has worked with the medical staff lo ensure that access to care is nat
compromised at Lions Gate Hospital. [na move towards greater health
promotion and prevention, the hospital is proud to have joined the Sercening,
Manunography Program of B.C, to open the first hospital-based Screening
Mammography Clinie, which has already assisted in the early diagnosis of
unsuspected breast disease in North Shore women,
