The Fraser Health region is home to more than 41 per cent of British Columbia’s children and youth, with one in four living south of the Fraser. This makes the region’s need for accessible pediatric care more urgent than ever.
At the centre of this care is Surrey Memorial Hospital (SMH), home to the region’s only dedicated pediatric emergency department. Nearly 50,000 children are treated there each year.
Your support will help improve facilities and programs so children can focus on what matters most — being kids.
Every child deserves the chance to grow up healthy, happy and supported by family. Yet too often, health challenges bring stress and uncertainty.
Together with generous donors, Surrey Hospitals Foundation has enhanced key pediatric programs, including:
Children’s Health Centre
Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Stabilization Unit (CAPSU)
Adolescent Day Treatment Program (ADTP)
Short Term Assessment Response Treatment (START)
With the region’s pediatric population growing rapidly, expanding care at Surrey Memorial Hospital is critical — and we need your help.
The Children’s Health Centre at Surrey Memorial Hospital is the only dedicated pediatric facility in the Fraser Health region. Since 2001, it has provided specialized care for thousands of children each year in a welcoming, family-friendly environment.
CAPSU delivers urgent mental health care for children and youth ages six to 17 experiencing crises. The 10-bed unit offers safe, specialized support close to home, helping more than 300 young patients each year.
ADTP provides outpatient care for youth ages 13 to 18, with academic support and therapies such as art, music, pet therapy and fitness.
START focuses on confidential crisis intervention for children and youth ages six to 18, including assessments, safety planning and referrals.
Your generosity directly impacts children across the Fraser Health region by helping:
Expand critical care programs
Upgrade pediatric facilities and play areas
Enhance youth mental health services
Provide comfort items for children and families
High-quality care close to home is essential for the health and future of our kids.
