Deer Park Hospital: A Ministry Abandoned - A Film by Fran Hailey

2008-03-04T11:39:00.000-08:00

Photo 237 student Fran Hailey put together this film with a group of community activist who are trying to convince the board of directors at Providence Health & Services to keep the Deer Park Hospital open.

The film title "Deer Park Hospital: A Ministry Abandoned" refers to the ownership of Deer Park by the Sisters of Providence, which started out as as a religious order that founded hospitals and health clinics throughout the country, including the establishment of Spokane's Sacred Heart Hospital in 1886.

Deer Park is a rural community that is caught in the middle of becoming an involuntary suburb of a growing city of Spokane. Providence Health feels that the Deer Park community is better served by Holy Family Hospital in north Spokane. Unfortunately for its citizens, should the hospital in Deer Park close, they will be left without any local 24/7 emergency care facility which many feel will lead to higher mortality rates for emergency conditions such as heart attack and stroke.

Filmed during February 2008, the snowy conditions highlight the difficulty many elderly people in rural communities face as they try to gain access to health care for emergency events or other elder care conditions such as cataract eye surgery.

While this film is an advocacy piece about a specific hospital closure, it is really just one example of a difficult issue faced by all rural communities.
