Editor: On Sept. 24, Fraser Health held its 10th annual Above and Beyond awards.
The Langley Memorial Hospital Auxiliary was awarded an Above & Beyond award in the Collaborative Partnership Category.
The award was in recognition of all the planing and the work that the auxiliary put into to purchasing our own building at 20550/20560 Fraser Hwy. — now the permanent home of Penny Pincher thrift shop.
The auxiliary started a building fund in 2007 and was able to save enough to afford a down payment on our forever home, as well as continue to purchase equipment for our hospital and contribute $500,000 to the new maternity unit.
All of this was possible because of the great level of support we receive from the citizens of Langley and our dedicated volunteers.
The auxiliary is now in a great position to move forward and continue our goal of increasing patient care enhancement and partnering with our hospital.

President, Langley Memorial Hospital Auxiliary
