Construction of Surrey Memorial Hospital’s new renal facility is moving forward, with the centre expected to open in the summer of 2026. Once complete, the facility will expand kidney-care services by 55 per cent and increase patient capacity to meet the rising demand for treatment in Surrey and neighbouring communities.

The project is part of a broader provincial strategy to strengthen health-care services across the region. Alongside the new renal unit, the Province’s plan includes establishing a medical school at Simon Fraser University, building a new hospital and BC Cancer Centre in Cloverdale, and expanding community-based health services.

The provincial government has committed $84 million toward the project, supported by a $1-million contribution from the Surrey Hospitals Foundation.

Bowinn Ma, Minister of Infrastructure, said the construction milestone reflects a commitment to the community. “Reaching this construction milestone is a promise kept to the Surrey community,” Ma said. Health Minister Josie Osborne added that the initiative is part of a broader effort to improve care across British Columbia.
