Partnering with our donors and the community to support equitable and exceptional care in Surrey hospitals.
Transforming care for residents south of the Fraser through providing excellent hospital care.
Supporting us, means supporting our health care professionals. Supporting us, means supporting your friends and neighbours and family members who need us.
Health care services in Surrey are primarily financed by government and through funds raised by Surrey Hospitals Foundation. In fact, we are the largest non-government funder of health care for families in Surrey. Our work is essential, and critical to the health of our hospitals and the health of the 1.9 million residents who reside in the Fraser Health region.
Thanks to the generosity of people like you, we are able to help fund every one of our region’s major health facilities including Surrey Memorial Hospital, Jim Pattison Outpatient Care and Surgery Centre. We support and fund the Czorny Alzheimer Centre, along with many specialized community programs for newborns, children, adults and seniors. Our Surrey health care campus provides health care for your whole family, from birth to end-of-life. Because you care, we are able to recruit top medical professionals. Hire the very best support staff. Purchase and operate state-of-the-art diagnostic and treatment equipment. And build and maintain modern facilities.
We aim to inspire and encourage our community to support innovative medicine and life-changing care, raising over $200 million since we were founded.
We are a close group of dedicated individuals, relentless in our passion to raise funds and implement positive changes that support our hospitals, our medical professionals and the people in our communities.
Recently, the SHF team and Board of Directors developed a strategic plan overview spanning from 2023 to 2026. Read the overview here.
Surrey Hospitals Foundation is proud to support major health care facilities in the region, including Surrey Memorial Hospital, Jim Pattison Outpatient Care and Surgery Centre, Czorny Alzheimer Centre, and more.
Surrey Hospitals Foundation is committed to the highest standards of accountability and transparency. Working with our Board of Directors, the Foundation ensures effective stewardship of our donors’ contributions, while achieving results that are defined by their positive impact on our community.
IN ACTION
Over the past 32 years, together we have raised over $200 million that is working directly to enhance health care in Surrey.
OUR IMPACT
So much good happens when we work together. Because together, we are a force for life-changing health care.
Every dollar donated has created impact. This past year we have funded over $2M in capital equipment, $500K in enhanced patient comfort items, $230K in research and education.
Some of the capital equipment funded this year include: Integrated Operating Room System technology, mobile ultrasounds, advanced surgical tables, laser blue light laryngology, hydraulic chairs, optiflow pediatric nasal therapy, radiographic unit, ablation systems for cardiac care, patient ceiling lifts, and the opening of Czorny Alzheimer Centre’s bakery.
Highlight – Czorny Alzheimer Centre Bakery
The new bakery at Czorny Alzheimer Centre provides therapeutic activation and social stimulation for its 72 residents. They can participate in a baking program where recreation therapy staff and volunteers help them make assorted baked goods. The goal is to bring back happy memories through the nostalgic scents and sights of baking. This creates a sense of purpose for Czorny’s residents.
Kerry Dalla- Vecchia, Recreation Co-ordinator at Czorny, shares, “The bakery is the first of its kind in residential care, and it is what makes Czorny even more special.”
