You've done it

This winter, Surrey Memorial Hospital will soon open two brand new cardiac catheterization labs (cath labs), where cardiac specialists will perform minimally invasive tests and advanced life-saving cardiac procedures. Surrey Hospitals Foundation is proud to partner with the Fraser Health Authority and the Provincial Government in supporting and fundraising for our cath labs.

In the Fraser Health region, the growth in the aging population will be the fastest and the largest of all health authorities in the province. Heart disease is already the No. 1 cause of death among people 65 and older and is poised to become even more prevalent in the years ahead, exacting an enormous toll on the health and quality of life for Canadians.

But with these new cath labs, Surrey Memorial Hospital’s interventional cardiologists will be able to diagnose and treat problems in heart and blood vessels before they cause larger issues, such as a heart attack or stroke. And in the case of a completely blocked coronary artery, urgent intervention in a cardiac cath lab could mean the difference between life and death.

More information on the new cath labs will be coming. Stay tuned!

The Godwin Family
We are deeply grateful to Elaine and the Godwin family for their generous gift of $3 million supporting the new Cardiac Cath Labs at Surrey Memorial Hospital in honour of the late Dr. Tom Godwin. This remarkable contribution not only advances cardiac care in our region but also reflects the passion and dedication Dr. Godwin devoted to his patients and his work at Fraser Health. His legacy of compassion and excellence continues to inspire us all. This gift is a powerful tribute to the profound impact one individual and one family can have on providing life-saving care and shaping the future of heart health.
