In a city defined by growth, diversity, and young families, the health of children is more than a priority. It is a shared responsibility.
As Surrey grows toward becoming British Columbia’s largest city, more families than ever are turning to Surrey Memorial Hospital in moments of fear, urgency, and hope. At the heart of this care is the hospital’s dedicated pediatric emergency department, the only one of its kind in the region, caring for nearly 50,000 children each year. For parents facing the unthinkable, a sick child in the middle of the night or a sudden emergency, this specialized space offers not just expert care, but reassurance, comfort, and compassion when it is needed most.
Each year, thousands more children receive specialized outpatient, surgical, and mental health care at Surrey Memorial Hospital. In 2025 alone, more than 6,000 babies were born here, making it a place where families begin, grow, and find support at life’s most critical moments.
An Expanding Ecosystem of Pediatric Care
What these numbers reveal is the scale and importance of care in a rapidly growing region. Behind each one are families navigating important moments, turning to Surrey Memorial Hospital and its network of services for support, expertise, and reassurance.
This is the strength of an integrated ecosystem of care, one that extends beyond a single facility to serve an entire community. As this ecosystem continues to grow to meet rising and increasingly complex needs, so too does the importance of strong, values-driven partnerships and philanthropy that help sustain and expand it.
Kirmac Collision and Autoglass, through Kirmac Cares for Kids, is a valued partner in this work.
A Partnership Driving Impact in Children’s Health
Since 2020, Kirmac has partnered with Surrey Hospitals Foundation to support children’s health, contributing a portion of every repair toward care that changes lives. What began as a meaningful commitment has grown into a powerful, ongoing philanthropic investment in the health and wellbeing of children and youth across Surrey and the region.
As demand for care continues to grow across the South Fraser region, partnerships like this are helping shape what the future of children’s health can look like.
“This extraordinary investment from Kirmac Cares for Kids reflects a shared vision for what a healthy, growing community south of the Fraser can and should look like,” said Nicole Robson, President & CEO of Surrey Hospitals Foundation.
“With Surrey Memorial Hospital serving as a critical anchor for the South Fraser region, demand for accessible, leading-edge pediatric services, including critical mental health supports for children and youth, continues to rise. Kirmac’s commitment is grounded in family values and legacy and reflects a deep understanding that both business and healthcare are built on collaboration and strong community partnerships. Through the leadership of values-driven organizations like Kirmac, we can continue strengthening our ecosystem of care, expanding access, and building a future where every child and family has the support they need today and for generations to come.”
Building Healthier Futures, Together
With the support of partners like Kirmac, Surrey Hospitals Foundation continues to expand therapeutic programs, invest in advanced medical equipment, and enhance care environments so that every child and youth who walks through the doors receives the best possible care.
“At Kirmac, we believe strong communities start with healthy kids,” said Sean McIntosh, President of Kirmac Collision and Autoglass. “Through Kirmac Cares for Kids, every repair helps make a difference. We are proud to deepen our partnership with Surrey Hospitals Foundation and support the ecosystem of care that serves children and families across Surrey and the region.”
This is the power of philanthropy in action, bringing community, healthcare, and shared purpose together to create lasting impact.
Together, this is how a growing city invests in its future, strengthening care today while building a healthier system for generations to come.
