Update on Health Vision Lions Gate Hospital - Next phase of engagement

As part of Health Vision Lions Gate Hospital (LGH), Vancouver Coastal Health (VCH) is developing a draft clinical services plan, which will ensure health-care programs on the hospital campus evolve in alignment with local health-care needs. The draft clinical services plan is based on clinical data, population projections, industry best practices as well as input from key internal and external partners, including staff, medical staff, First Nations, government, services providers and local residents.

During the next phase of Health Vision LGH, which is anticipated to launch in 2026, VCH will share back what was heard during the previous engagement, present key recommendations from the draft clinical services plan, as well as provide an opportunity for participants to ask questions and provide feedback.

VCH remains committed to ongoing, meaningful engagement with key internal and external partners throughout this process and will share details regarding the next phase of Health Vision LGH once confirmed.

Update on Health Vision Lions Gate Hospital – Phase One Community Engagement Report

We are pleased to share an update on Health Vision Lions Gate Hospital.

As part of the planning process, VCH engaged with residents, community partners, as well as staff and medical staff around the opportunities, challenges and priorities for health-care services at Lions Gate Hospital (LGH), now and into the future. VCH also engaged with local First Nations, Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish Nation) and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh Nation) to better understand the unique needs and considerations of their communities.

Phase one engagement is complete, and a summary of the key findings is now available online.

VCH has developed a draft clinical services plan for LGH, based on historical data and trends, industry best practices, population projections and community, local First Nations and staff and medical staff input. The draft plan will be the subject of the further engagement with community and staff later this fall.

Once finalized, these plans will provide a vision for future health-care services for the LGH campus, including programming and infrastructure recommendations. Moving forward, VCH will work with the B.C. Government and other relevant partners to further coordinate, engage and advance the recommendations outlined in the CSP, as appropriate.

Phase 2 engagement will seek input from First Nations partners, local North Shore communities, local and regional government, staff, medical staff and other interested parties. There will be engagement opportunities to provide feedback in 2026..

Health Vision Lions Gate Hospital will feature best practices for the delivery of health-care services, consider previous planning exercises and incorporate the latest data to ensure it reflects current and projected health care needs. All community input will also be considered in the development of Health Vision Lions Gate Hospital.

We humbly acknowledge that the land on which the Lions Gate Hospital is located is the traditional and unceded territory of the Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh Nations.
