Why Give

70% of all hospital equipment is purchased by the Eagle Ridge Hospital Foundation

Did you know? The government provides limited funding for equipment ranging from $5,000 to $100,000. Eagle Ridge Hospital Foundation purchases almost all equipment for Eagle Ridge Hospital. Without the generous donations from community members, the hospital would only have 30% of its equipment needs met.

Here are the many additional reasons to give to the Eagle Ridge Hospital Foundation:

• More than 100,000 people used the services at Eagle Ridge Hospital every year
• Eagle Ridge Hospital is the Centre for Elective Surgery for Fraser Health
• Hospital staff performed more than 11,000 surgeries last year for hip and knee replacements, as well as cancer diagnosis and treatment
• Our Emergency Department saw more than 42,000 patients in 2010/11 and is expected to serve 48,000 by the end of 2012.
• With your support, Eagle Ridge Hospital Foundation has purchased over $8.2 million dollars in new and cutting edge medical equipment for Eagle Ridge Hospital.
