Czorny Alzheimer Centre opened in 2007 and is named in honour of Michael Czorny.
Michael’s daughter, Surrey philanthropist Marilyn Stewart, and her family witnessed his nine-year journey with Alzheimer’s disease. In memory of Michael and his wife Nancy — his primary caregiver — the family donated the land for the Centre and provided $10 million in capital funding.
In 2017, Surrey Hospitals Foundation was gifted Czorny Alzheimer Centre. Today, the Centre is operated by Fraser Health Authority, continuing a shared commitment to compassionate, high-quality dementia care in Surrey.
