Hospital limping back to recovery

Surrey Memorial Hospital’s still waiting for a final assessment on it’s MRI machine caught up in the flood a few weeks ago.

Fraser Health spokesperson Roy Thorpe-Dorward says in the meantime, the MRI machine at the nearby Jim Pattison Outpatient facility will be used, “We do have seven MRI’s across Fraser Health so there is some capacity to absorb. So ideally for inpatients at Surrey Memorial we would like to have an MRI on site, but in the meantime we are making do with Jim Pattison.”

The final cost estimate of the total damage thanks to the flood, isn’t in yet either.
