SURREY, B.C. – British Columbia Minister of Health Adrian Dix announced March 11 plans are moving ahead for a new acute care tower at Surrey Memorial Hospital in Surrey, B.C.
The new tower will 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, a release said.
Planning will align with the ongoing improvements to the site.
“This new acute care tower at the Surrey Memorial Hospital marks a significant milestone in our mission to meet the dynamic health needs of our growing population. Our vision for the cutting-edge health-services campus is to inspire innovation and excellence for our patients, families and communities, and to be the best place to work for our teams,” said Fraser Health president and CEO Dr. Victoria Lee in a statement.
During the next 15 to 18 months, the project will proceed to the business-planning phase with consultation to support business planning launching soon, including engagement with health care providers, Indigenous partners, the community and local municipalities.
The business-planning process determines project scope, budget, timelines and procurement strategy. Once the business plan is complete and approved by government, the procurement process will start and construction will get underway, the release said.
In June 2023 B.C. announced 30 actions to improve access to health care for people in Surrey including reviewing site needs at Surrey Memorial Hospital.
