The Surrey Board of Trade thanks the BC Government for today’s announcement of a new acute care tower coming to Surrey Memorial Hospital. The new tower is expected to add acute and specialized care capacity to the Surrey Memorial Hospital campus, such as medical, surgical, pediatric, perinatal, women’s health, and mental health and stroke care. Planning will align with the ongoing improvements to the site.
“We do hope that Surrey’s second hospital that is to be built can also include services for trauma, maternity care, heart attacks and strokes,” said Anita Huberman, President & CEO, Surrey Board of Trade. “There is still time. It is possible. Surrey is desperately in need of enhanced health care service delivery given that we will be the largest city in BC by 2029.”
“Health care is part of city building and economic infrastructure. These services can still be added into the second hospital,” continued Huberman.
