Hospital equipment wishlist
Every year, clinicians and department managers at Langley Memorial Hospital create a list of the most urgent equipment needs. The equipment list covers all departments of the hospital and includes items Fraser Health has no allocated funding to support. With donor funds, however, we can ensure our health care teams get the technology and tools they need to provide excellence in care - today.
