An expansion is planned for Eagle Ridge Hospital.

The Editor,

Re. “Port Moody ERH’s tower plan on shelf” (The Tri-City News, July 6).

What great news it was to read that Fraser Health has withdrawn its initial application for sale of land around Eagle Ridge Hospital to make room for two highrise towers.

What is really needed, along with the expansion of the ERH emergency department, is a much larger hospital addition to accommodate possibly a maternity ward to go with the very large population growth that has happened in the Tri-Cities.

Look to the future for our children, grandchildren and beyond.

Louise Lapointe, Coquitlam
