Dear editor,
Am I the only person in the Comox Valley who has growing reservations about our new hospital?
The history in the States of these three P businesses is a record of care subordinated to profit.
Little has been revealed about St. Joe’s future role, possibly as an adjunct to the new edifice?
With the seismically vulnerable portions demolished, the rest can be valuable for the care it can provide.
Does anybody know or care about the organization of our future medical care?
William Ouellette,
Comox Valley
Editor’s note: Acute-care services will transfer to the new hospital. Remaining on site at St. Joseph’s will be the 125 residential care beds in The Views. The hospital is working with the Comox Valley Hospice Society to develop four hospice beds in The Views.
