People in Surrey are one step closer to enhanced kidney care as Surrey Memorial Hospital’s renal facility celebrates a construction milestone.

“Reaching this construction milestone is a promise kept to the Surrey community,” said Bowinn Ma, Minister of Infrastructure. “Each step forward brings us closer to an improved patient experience and ensuring residents can access critical, life-saving care closer to homes and their loved ones. This new unit is an important investment in the health and well-being of people across the region.”

Big news: The SFU School of Medicine is now accepting applications for its first class of students, marking the launch of Western Canada's first new medical school in nearly 60 years. With a three-year curriculum, the school will train family doctors faster — and closer to home.

As construction begins on the new facility, the first class of 48 medical students will begin their studies in 2026 at a temporary site on SFU's Surrey Campus. Students will receive hands-on training by working directly with patients in offices, clinics and hospitals throughout the region — including an on-site outpatient clinic that will serve locals.

The new medical school will include classrooms, research labs, a childcare centre for locals, and the outpatient clinic.

This is more than a medical school — it's an investment in BC families, communities, and the future of health care across BC.
