Surrey Memorial Hospital

I had 2 hours to pass when I was waiting for Ron and explored the new tower here. It's a huge 'campus' now. You need a map as even the staff don't know how to get everywhere yet.

There is a lovely Ronald McDonald room with complete kitchen, quiet area, kids corner and touching thank you notes.
There are murals and art everywhere.
A connecting corridor is now a rest area with view.
I even had a tour of the new Emergency room, more like Center. Totally amazing, not like the one I worked in at Peace Arch back in the 70's.

The entrance, inside and out, uses reclaimed wood.
This blue sculpture, representing waves?  was commissioned to an artist from Mexico. Hello ??  Don't we have any local artists!!!!!
 These beams are representing B.C. trees and forests.
