Lions Gate Hospital Foundation
I am proud to support the Lions Gate Hospital Foundation: These dedicated ladies and gentlemen help to fund improvements in patient care. They are fantastic and have made a huge difference in our hospital – recently helping us to obtain a new echocardiography machine providing an amazing image quality improvement.
