The letter writer questions a proposal to sell off some of the land that makes up the grounds of Eagle Ridge Hospital in Port Moody to make way for high-density housing.

The Editor,

Re. “Is future of ERH now in jeopardy?” (Letters, The Tri-City News, March 16) and “We need more space for hospital, certainly not less” (Letters, March 21).

With all the land around the Lower Mainland, why on Earth would Fraser Health want to use the Eagle Ridge Hospital land for housing?

What we really need in this community is the expansion of ERH to accommodate the very large population growth in the Tri-Cities.

Where would you like to park the cars of those who run the hospital — i.e., doctors, nurses, maintenance staff, volunteers, etc.? How crazy is this proposal?

Get your priorities straight.
