History

[edit | edit source]

First opened as Maple Ridge Hospital in 1958, the hospital originally had 63 beds.[1]

In January 2009, the hospital opened a new $20.9-million emergency room and outpatient care centre expansion.[2] As of March 2022, the hospital is in the midst of a long-term master planning process alongside Abbotsford Regional Hospital and Peace Arch Hospital.[3]

Controversies

In November 2024, the hospital came under scrutiny for discharging an 86-year old blind women to a shelter in the Downtown Eastside neighborhood of Vancouver.[4][5]
