Fraser Health and the Delta Hospital and Community Health Foundation are partnering to build a new MRI unit at Delta Hospital.<\/p>\n
The $18-million project is expected to support between 7,500 and 10,000 MRI exams annually, helping reduce wait times and support earlier diagnosis for a wide range of conditions, including cancer, neurological conditions and injuries, according to a Fraser Health press release.<\/p>\n
\u201cPeople living in and around Delta will have peace of mind knowing they will have increased access to MRI scans, close to home,\u201d Health Minister Josie Osborne said in the press release. \u201cInvesting in this new diagnostic imaging equipment means people and care providers getting the information needed for better patient outcomes, while reducing wait times.\u201d<\/p>\n
Fraser Health president and CEO Dermot Kelly said the new MRI service will enhance access to timely diagnostic imaging for residents of the growing communities the hospital serves.<\/p>\n
\u201cBy supporting earlier diagnosis and treatment, this investment will help improve outcomes and strengthen care closer to home,\u201d Kelly said in the press release. \u201cI am grateful to the Delta Hospital and Community Health Foundation, its donors and our Fraser Health teams whose commitment and collaboration made this milestone possible.\u201d<\/p>\n
The new MRI unit is expected to be completed in December 2028. Delta Hospital and Community Health Foundation is committed to fully funding the project\u2019s entire $18 million cost, which includes the MRI equipment as well as renovation of the hospital space.<\/p>\n
\u201cAccess to MRI services has been a long-standing need in Delta, and our community has advocated for this for many years,\u201d foundation CEO Lisa Hoglund said in the press release. \u201cThis fall, we will officially launch our fundraising campaign and invite the community to come together around this critical investment that will bring diagnostic care closer to home and improve health outcomes for generations to come.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"MRI services coming to Delta Hospital Published 3:15 pm Tuesday, June 23, 2026 Fraser Health and the Delta…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":757141,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[194299],"tags":[49,48,87674],"class_list":["post-757140","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-surrey","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-surrey"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/757140","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=757140"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/757140\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/757141"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=757140"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=757140"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=757140"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
