Today, almost 80,000 British Columbians are living with a cancer diagnosis.
As Langley’s only hospital, Langley Memorial provides critical cancer diagnoses and life-saving interventions.
Specialists perform surgeries for breast, bladder, kidney and renal pelvis cancers, providing compassionate and reliable care to patients from all over Langley. In 2024 alone, Langley Memorial performed over 3,000 surgical day care urology procedures.
But after continual use, medical equipment can wear down. When they perform ultrasounds, surgeries and ongoing care for patients, medical staff at Langley Memorial need to rely on up-to-date equipment to deliver the best possible care.
Every donation makes a huge difference in the work of our hospital’s medical staff and in the lives of patients dealing with cancer. With every dollar, you help patients in Langley receive the best possible care when they need it most.
Each year, more than 9,000 women count on Langley Memorial for routine mammograms. Each and everyone of these patients need the confidence that the equipment is reliable and the space is supportive, and that answers will come quickly.
A better experience for every woman
Langley Community Health & Hospital Foundation has launched a $2 million campaign to strengthen breast cancer screening and diagnosis at LMH. As cornerstone donors, Twins Cancer Fundraising and a $700,000 anonymous matching donor have charged the campaign with momentum early on.
Donor support will help replace the aging mammography machine with a state-of-the-art system that includes tomosynthesis, also known as 3D mammography. This technology helps to detect cancers earlier, particularly in dense breast tissue.
With new equipment, Langley Memorial can provide both screening and diagnostic mammography in one place, for the first time. For women who are anxious about their breast health, that means faster answers, fewer delays and care that stays close to home.
For local donors, this campaign is an opportunity to help ensure that when Langley women - our moms, sisters and daughters - need answers on breast health care, they can find them quickly, compassionately and close to home.
