PLEASE CONTACT: Theresa Bamford, Marketing & Communications Coordinator T: 604 940 9695 E: [email protected] fact sheet CAPITAL CAMPAIGN ‘Healthy & Growing’ Diagnostic Services Building summary Enhancing and expanding diagnostic services will help Delta Hospital meet the healthcare needs of our growing community and aging population. Securing the funds (in total $12.5 million - $7.5 million from funds raised by Delta Hospital Foundation) to build the new Peter C. and Elizabeth Toigo Diagnostic Services building allows Delta Hospital to continue to provide outstanding patient care to its community. This expansion is the largest in Delta Hospital’s history. strengthening the backbone Diagnostic Services is the backbone of Delta Hospital. It houses the laboratory and medical imaging departments. The results from a medical test from the lab, an X-Ray from Medical Imaging, or a CT scan, can and will save lives. Results gathered from these tests give doctors the information they need to make accurate diagnoses and prescribe the correct treatments to their patients. Whether it is a broken arm or a suspected illness, medical tests and their results ultimately steer the direction of treatment.

Delta Hospital’s Diagnostic Services has been operating at full capacity for many years. As our community continues to both grow and age, so does our need for expanded and enhanced diagnostic services. In 2016, there were 523,167 lab tests performed and 44,911 medical imaging exams, including X-Rays, Ultrasounds, CT Scans, and Mammograms. The ability for any hospital to have a state-of-the-art diagnostic facility, run by a knowledgeable and professional medical staff is central to the administration of successful healthcare. Delta Hospital will soon be in this position and will no longer be deterred by space or equipment limitations. This means that patient wait times for processing samples and test results will decrease, and treatments, through accurate diagnoses, will be quicker to determine; allowing for more patients to be on the road to healthy recoveries sooner.

Enhancing and expanding Diagnostic Services will:

• help medical staff deliver outstanding patient care • allow for faster and more precise diagnoses • give more privacy and comfort to patients • shorten stays for patients • lessen need for patient transfers • enable the housing of additional state-of-the-art medical equipment • ultimately lead to less stress for medical staff, patients and their families fact sheet, cont’d CAPITAL CAMPAIGN ‘Healthy & Growing’ Diagnostic Services Building the plan Diagnostic Services will double in size, making it easier for staff to treat patients and operate more efficiently. This new building will allow for 32,000 more patient visits each year. This new building will be located on the south side of Delta Hospital’s acute care wing. It will be situated adjacent to the Emergency Department and the Main Entrance.

Delta Hospital Foundation, through its generous donors, raised its committed $7.5 million for this $12.5 million partnership project with Fraser Health. Groundbreaking is set to take place in the early Spring of 2017. Fraser Health will operate and maintain this healthcare centre when it opens.

The Medical Imaging Department will be relocated to Level 1 of the Diagnostics building. It will be built adjacent to the Emergency Department, Out-patient Entrance (Main Entrance) and to operating rooms. The Laboratory Medicine Department will be relocated to Level 2 of the Diagnostics building. It will be built adjacent to the Out-patient Entrance (Main Entrance), Emergency Department, and the In-patient wards and clinics.
