Recently Completed Hospital Projects

Our brand new ER and OR opened in January 2022! Thank you to our incredible community of supporters for funding $38.5 million towards the total project cost of $91.05 million!

The new emergency department is nearly three times the size of the current facility with a private triage area, dedicated ambulance entrance, significantly more treatment areas including specific pediatric and mental health spaces, isolation rooms and an improved layout and space configuration. The new OR will meet best practice standards for modern surgical requirements, and will accommodate not only current needs, but the anticipated needs of our community for the next 20 years.

New medical equipment is always at the forefront of the Foundation’s fundraising efforts and back in early 2019, we were able to provide Peace Arch Hospital’s Medical Imaging department with a new CT scanner. Overall, $1.3 million was raised for this modern, state-of-the-art CT scanner that continues to make a huge impact for both patients and medical imaging technologists. 

Installation of the new CT scanner was complete in the Spring of 2019 and a special ribbon-cutting was held in January 2020 for the major donors who contributed to this important new addition to the radiography department. Thank you to every donor who made this possible!

Installation of the new digital x-ray unit was complete in late August of 2017 and a special ribbon-cutting was held for the major donors who contributed to this important new addition to the radiography department.

Features of the new x-ray unit include faster and improved image quality, a reduction in radiation exposure and a fully flexible set-up that comprises a ceiling-mounted x-ray tube to position around a patient, a stretcher or a wheelchair.

The radiology department performs 65,000 imaging exams per year. Since the new Digital X-Ray Unit was installed in late August 2017, nearly 2,700 patients have been imaged over a two-month period compared to 2,500 during the same time last year.
