In 1993, Chilliwack General Hospital was the first hospital in British Columbia to adopt Patient Focused Care (PFC), a consultant driven approach to providing healthcare services. Both St. Boniface General Hospital and the Winnipeg Health Science Centre had previously adopted the solution in Canada.[4]

A $35 million expansion to the hospital's healthcare facilities was opened in 2011.[5]
