Board Chair

As a third generation TriCity resident community is important to me.  Many times my husband and I have been grateful to have Eagle Ridge Hospital in such close proximity while raising our family and I am proud to do my part to preserve and improve this wonderful facility.

Board Vice-Chair

Being involved with ERH Foundation allows me to help raise Health Care Funds that actually stay in our community. I believe that allowing people to receive quality health care in their own community is better for not only the community but the environment as well.  I am proud to be involved with such a worthwhile organization.

A well funded local hospital is essential to the overall health and well being of any community.  As a resident of Port Moody for the past 10 years I feel extremely fortunate to have the opportunity to contribute to the efforts of Eagle Ridge Hospital Foundation.  Through those efforts we can ensure Eagle Ridge Hospital remains a vibrant Health Care Facility that has the ability to meet the needs of our growing communities.

Any community is defined by its services – healthcare is the critical one. It is vital that we maintain the friendly, professional community atmosphere of Eagle Ridge while growing to become the full-service facility our growing Tri-Cities needs. We can all work and lobby to this end.

Representing Eagle Ridge Hospital Auxiliary

Sixteen years ago, my friends on the Auxiliary needed someone to help keep the books. Being an ex-banker, dealing with money was easy, so it was a great fit. Since then I’ve learned how committed this community is to ERH and how ERH relies on our support and I’ve never looked back.

Eagle Ridge Hospital has been providing my family and me first rate emergency and health care services since it opened. We support the Hospital Foundation as it assists in providing the equipment and training for our Healthcare professionals on a daily basis.

I was born and raised in Coquitlam and currently raise my young family near Eagle Ridge Hospital.  I am proud to serve our community through my efforts in the Emergency Department and now as a Foundation Board member.  My goal is to assist the Board in their fundraising efforts through raising community awareness and facilitate the expansion of quality clinical services at our hospital.

Both my wife and my son have been in the Eagle Ridge Hospital emergency on different occasions, and received first rate service.  Eagle Ridge Hospital was there to help when we needed care – I appreciate the opportunity to do my part to keep quality healthcare in our community.

Eagle Ridge Hospital has provided excellent emergency and specialized medical care to my family over the past 26 years. It is a priviledge to be a member of the dedicated ERH Foundation Board to help achieve fundraising goals and ultimately advance the quality of care to the highest level for all residents of our growing community.

Barb Sutherland
Site Director, Eagle Ridge Hospital

It is an honour to be a part of the Eagle Ridge Hospital Foundation. I have been living and working in this community for over 15 years as a Nurse, Health Service Manager and now Site Director and I am passionate about providing the best care for our patients in the Tri-Cities. I am excited and energized to be part of a hospital with such a bright future and I am looking forward to engaging with the community as we plan ahead for the growth of Eagle Ridge Hospital.

Wim Vander Zalm
President, Art Knapp Plantland

Every community needs to have a local hospital. My son had one of his fingers almost ripped off. The OR team repaired it entirely and now, you wouldn’t know anything ever happened to it. We are blessed to have ERH so close to us. I am proud to raise money to keep my local hospital well equipped for other patients.

Larry Wald
Retired Credit Union Executive

Eagle Ridge is a unique hospital. It’s a good size multifunctional hospital, but at the same time small enough that I can identify with people on a personal basis. I will see the same faces when I’m walking down the hall or in the elevator and can exchange pleasantries and feel connected. So I am able to give something back to a facility that does tremendous work at a size where I can be personally connected.
