People on the North Shore and in coastal communities are closer to accessing public health-care services in a modern environment as work begins on a new patient care tower at Lions Gate Hospital.

Government is transforming everyday health care for people living in the North Shore region by establishing three networks of team-based primary care providers, which will bring additional resources and strengthened support to the region.

A new acute care facility at Lions Gate Hospital is one step closer, following the Province’s approval of the concept plan for the facility.

North Vancouver-area MLAs joined with members of the community to celebrate the launch of Foundry North Shore, a new integrated youth service centre.

A dedicated hospital unit for youth with mental-health and substance-use challenges will be built at the HOpe Centre at Lions Gate Hospital in North Vancouver, thanks in part to noted West Vancouver philanthropists and donors Jack and Leone Carlile.
