What people are saying about the renal facility at Surrey Memorial

Garry Begg, parliamentary secretary for Surrey infrastructure –

“Having access to quality health care close to home is essential in our community. This new renal facility is a vital step forward for families in Surrey and the surrounding area. It means more patients will get the life-saving treatment they need, without having to travel far, and in a setting designed for comfort, dignity and healing. I'm proud to see this project taking shape right here in our city.”  

Amna Shah, MLA for Surrey City Centre –

“It’s a good day for the people of Surrey! Seeing the roof beams go up is a major milestone for patients and families who have been travelling long distances for dialysis care. This new unit will give more people access to life-saving treatment close to home, surrounded by their local community and care providers, supporting comfort, healing and overall well-being.”

Jagrup Brar, MLA for Surrey-Fleetwood –

"This new renal facility represents a future where no one in our community has to face long drives or long waits to get the care they need. It's about building a stronger, more equitable health-care system — one that puts people first. We're not just expanding services, we're reinforcing our commitment to every patient who depends on dialysis to live well and live fully.”

Jessie Sunner, MLA for Surrey-Newton –

“When we invest in health-care infrastructure like this, we’re investing in people: in their dignity, in their families and in their future. This new unit will bring not only more capacity, but a more-compassionate care environment for those managing chronic kidney disease. It’s a meaningful step forward for our fast-growing community.”

Dermot Kelly, president and chief executive officer, Fraser Health –

“The need for this vital service continues to grow. Designed with patients and families at its heart, the new renal facility will expand our capacity to deliver life-sustaining care in an environment that reflects our commitment to comfort, dignity and healing. I am grateful to our staff, medical staff and partners whose hard work and dedication are bringing this vision to life.”

Nicole Robson, president and chief executive officer, Surrey Hospitals Foundation –

“The new regional renal hemodialysis unit at Surrey Memorial Hospital represents a vital expansion of care for patients living with kidney disease in Surrey and across the South Fraser. Thanks to a $1-million investment from our donors, patients will now receive advanced, life-sustaining treatment closer to home in a space designed to provide dignity and comfort. This project reflects how donor generosity can transform access to specialized care in one of the fastest-growing regions in the province.”

Dr. Melanie Brown, renal program medical director, Fraser Health –

“With Surrey’s rapidly growing population and end-stage kidney disease, the new hemodialysis facility is a vital step forward in meeting both urgent and chronic health-care needs. This project reflects our commitment to delivering high-quality care as close to home as possible, ensuring patients can access life-sustaining treatment within their own community.”
