Surrey Memorial Hospital (“SMH”) is the largest acute care site in Fraser Health, with over 450 acute care beds and the busiest emergency department in the province.  SMH currently provides a full range of primary and secondary level hospital services to the community of Surrey and the wider South Fraser area.  In addition, the hospital provides selected tertiary-level services to all of Fraser Health.

Surrey is the fastest growing area within Fraser Health.  Fraser Health planning identified that the Fraser South region requires 512 additional beds by 2020. The proposed Surrey Memorial Hospital (SMH) site redevelopment will provide 320 of the 512 beds required to meet the needs of our growing population. In addition, this project will address the critical need for additional emergency, maternal/child and inpatient capacity for Fraser Health.
