Hospital Projects

From capital campaigns and hospital upgrades to medical equipment and patient comforts, donor dollars make a huge impact at Peace Arch Hospital.

Since 1988, Peace Arch Hospital Foundation has been raising funds to support hospital upgrades, medical equipment and patient care and comforts. From the expansion and renovation of medical wards to the purchase of such critically-needed equipment like an MRI and digital x-ray unit, our projects have made a significant impact for patients and medical staff.

Community Projects

With a vision to make our community the healthiest possible, we invest in projects and programs that promote physical, social and mental well-being.

Under the leadership of our volunteer Board of Directors, the Foundation has broadened its mandate to invest in vital health care projects that reach beyond the hospital campus. What started with a community grants and bursaries program in 1999 has now evolved into a full-fledged movement to make White Rock and South Surrey the healthiest community possible.
