Chilliwack General Hospital
History
Opened on 28 February 1912, the original building was replaced by a new hospital building, opened on 19 June 1940.
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.
A $35 million expansion to the hospital's healthcare facilities was opened in 2011.
Chilliwack General Hospital is an affiliated hospital with the University of British Columbia Faculty of Medicine. Classified as an Affiliated Region Center, the hospital is a training facility for the Family Medicine Residency Program.
