Care designed for every child

Children aren’t simply smaller adults. They require specialized expertise, equipment and environments designed specifically for how they grow, heal and develop.

From first breaths through young adulthood, children and families across the Fraser Health region count on the Surrey Memorial Hospital campus for exceptional care close to home. The campus brings together BC’s only dedicated pediatric emergency department within a general hospital, the Children’s Health Centre, a specialized Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, and child and youth mental health services. Together, these services make Surrey Memorial one of British Columbia’s leading centres for child and youth health, serving one of Canada’s youngest and fastest-growing regions.

Every day, dedicated care teams help children heal, grow and thrive. As demand for specialized pediatric care continues to rise, donor support helps ensure every child has access to the care they need today and for generations to come.
