No one could have predicted that when the calendar flipped over to 2020 that it would be a year like no other. Nowhere in our community has this been more transparent than at Peace Arch Hospital. From the first days of the COVID-19 crisis, our medical staff and administrators stepped up to ensure our hospital was prepared for whatever walked through our doors. Our community has also rallied around our hospital, just like they did back in 1948 when Peace Arch was merely a dream and small, grassroots fundraisers made it a reality. That spirit Janice Stasiuk of giving is still thriving more than 70 years later. Whether it’s providing nourishing meals for our frontline health care heroes who are working day and night to keep us safe and well, or funding iPads so our most fragile and vulnerable long-term care residents can communicate with their loved ones during this time of restricted visiting, our community has once again opened their hearts and wallets and for that we are eternally grateful. You’ll find some inspiring stories in these pages of how our medical team is navigating these uncharted waters along with how your gifts have made an impact with our Rapid Response Grants, which provide quick financial assistance to non-profit organizations offering programs, services, and activities that aid our community during this crisis. We also want to celebrate the opening of the long-awaited PAH Foundation Lodge featuring the Melville Hospice Home that opened its doors at the beginning of April, welcoming 185 of our mental health and complex care residents into their Stephanie Beck new home. It was some good news that couldn’t have come at a better time. We hope you are staying well and enjoying the sunshine and longer days. 2 thrive 15521 Russell Avenue White Rock, BC V4B 2R4 T 604.535.4520 peacearchfoundation pahfoundation www.pahfoundation.ca 2020-2021 BOARD OF DIRECTORS Janice Stasiuk – Chair CONTENTS SPRING 2020 Grant Turnbull – Vice-Chair Geoff Funke – Past Chair Peter Donaldson – Treasurer/Secretary Marco Buccini Colin Cameron DONOR FEATURE Brent Ellwyn 4 PROFILE 11 STORY Jerrod Hendry Everbean Café finds innovative When the COVID-19 Harp S.

  • It's Our Emergency
    IT’S OUR EMERGENCY. Let’s Work TogethER. PEACE ARCH HOSPITAL’S CAMPAIGN FOR A NEW ER e-mer-gen-cy: (noun) a sudden, urgent, usually unexpected occurrence or occasion requiring immediate action. Ready or not, here you come. Accidents or unforeseen health issues can happen to any of us at anytime. No one starts their day anticipating a visit to their local Emergency Department — yet we all want the ER to be ready when we are. But the needs of our growing community have outgrown our current ER. Built in 1989 to accommodate 20,000 patients annually, it is now too small and poorly configured to effectively and safely manage the 50,000 patients treated last year and the 70,000 forecasted in the future. Every day, the remarkable ER team works with skill, diligence and heart to accommodate every patient and every family in circumstances that have gone from challenging to unbearable. Our Emergency Department is in its own state of emergency. A new Emergency Department with increased capacity, appropriate dedicated treatment spaces and improved patient flow, safety and security, is central to Peace Arch Hospital’s site Redevelopment + Expansion. The Ministry of Health has committed $5 million of the estimated $20 million needed to build the new ER. Peace Arch Hospital & Community Health Foundation needs our help to raise the additional $15 million for an ER capable of meeting the diverse needs of our growing community … for the staff who work there, and for every patient and every family who arrive unexpectedly, every day. One day ‘they’ will be ‘you’.

  • Capital Project Plan Peace Arch Hospital Renewal Project March 2017
    Capital Project Plan Peace Arch Hospital Renewal Project March 2017 1. Project Background In 2012 the Peace Arch Hospital Master Concept Plan was prepared by Fraser Health (FH) through Lower Mainland Facilities Management (LMFM) and in partnership with PAH site leadership and the Peace Arch Hospital & Community Health Foundation (the Foundation). The Master Concept Plan created a 20-year vision for the site and outlined a 10-year site development plan for the immediate and longer-term clinical service delivery requirements. Two of the short-term priorities called for facility improvements and service capacity expansion for Emergency services and Surgical services. A PAH Emergency Department Renovation & Expansion business plan was completed in 2013 and approved by government in December, 2014. As the Emergency Department project was advancing, an Accreditation Canada review of the PAH Medical Device Reprocessing (MDR) department and a Surgical services review at PAH revealed escalating needs for facilities improvements. Subsequent planning for the MDR and Surgical services explored options for accommodation of these services and site studies concluded that the planned building expansion for the new ED offered the best opportunity for a cost-effective, long-term solution for MDR and Surgical services. In 2016 the approved Emergency Department project was revisited and expanded to make the case for a broader facility solution for Emergency services, MDR, and Surgical services. The resulting PAH Renewal Business Plan documented the case for an integrated and comprehensive facility solution to accommodate an expanded Emergency department, a new MDR department, and a new Perioperative Suite to support Surgical service delivery. This Project provides a cost-effective, long-term strategy for PAH to effectively resolve safety issues impacting patient care, increase surgical and emergency capacity to meet current and future demand, and substantially improve building deficiencies.
