HOSPITAL MIGHT WORK WELL FOR NEEDLE EXCHANGE CLINIC

If we don't like the proposed location of a new needle exchange, we
need to come up with an alternative one. Since the exchange is only
open for a few hours, three times a week, why not locate it at the
hospital?

We already have two other agencies that are mobile.

With VIHA's outreach program (Monday to Friday) and Tillicum Haus
(Thursday) home delivery needle service, are there not enough agencies
engaged in this harm reduction practice downtown already?
