History

On May 22nd 1947 the White Rock Hospital Society was formed to build and maintain a small hospital to serve the White Rock District The following year the Womens Auxiliary was established and enthusiastically embarked on a fund raising campaign

Local resident Mrs Amy Weatherby donated a five and a half acre site of land in 1951 and the Government gave permission to build a hospital if White Rock could raise onethird of the cost of the hospital The total cost was only 100000 as generous members of the community donated much of the building supplies and labour The fundraising was a success and the original 45bed White Rock District Hospital was officially opened on August 25th 1954

The Berkley Building was purchased in 1967 as an extended care unit In 1968 the six story building that you see today was constructed by the Society and a further 108 acute beds were opened An expansion of the diagnostic and support services took place in 1993 the addition of 150 extended care beds were opened in 1987 within the Weatherby Pavilion and in 1996 a new 150 bed extended care unit the Finlay Pavilion was constructed In 1993 the Society changed its name to Peace Arch Hospital

For over 50 years the Peace Arch Hospital has provided the community with a range of services including emergency care general surgery maternity pediatrics internal medicine diagnostic services intensive care and longterm care Currently the PAH has 178 acute beds 343 extended care beds and is served by over 130 physicians and 1800 health care workers
